Oh my goodness, what a wonderful flavor and so easy to make! My kids devoured it and will definitely make it again! Made for best of 2011 cookbook event, thanks!

Wonderful! The pork was so moist and tender - I didn't even need to slice it, it shredded right apart just touching it with the fork. Very flexible for serving - I served the first batch as taco filling and the second as a burrito bowl over cilantro lime rice. Delicious! Thanks for sharing! PAC Fall '11
