Mexican Pulled Pork
My favorite easy way to cook pork for burritos or taco filling. I prefer using a slow cooker for this so I don't have to watch it. If you do it on the stove top, be careful not to burn it. Simmer slowly, stir frequestly. It will take about 3-4 hours on the stove or 6-8 in the crockpot.

- Add onion, garlic and chilies, cook and stir until onions are tender.
- Add all spices and stir.
- Add enough water to just cover meat.
- Put in crock-pot on Hi for 6-8 hours until meat shreds. (You can help it by pulling meat apart with forks or by pressing meat onto side of pan when almost done.).
- If not using crock-pot, simmer on top of stove on low heat for 3-4 hours until meat shreds, adding more water if needed to prevent sticking.
- Serve with taco shells or as burritos with beans, sour cream, guacamole, etc.
