This was good, but I think I would use the pork butt or some country-style boneless ribs in place of pork chops next time. The thick-cut pork chops I used turned out a little drier than I would've liked, but it was easily remedied by serving the meat with some salsa. It shredded well, so I think I'll probably use the leftovers to make a small pan of enchiladas rojos. Thanks for posting! Made for PAC Spring 2013
