Recipe information

  • Total Time

    8 hours

  • Yield

    Serves 6-8

Ingredients

1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon oregano
1 tablespoon salt
1 3-1/2 to 4 pound pork shoulder, rinsed and cleaned
1 16 oz jar mild salsa
1 package corn or flour tortillas

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place the first 7 ingredients in a bowl and mix.

    Step 2

    Place the pork shoulder in the Crock Pot (slow cooker) and rub all over with the seasoning mixture.

    Step 3

    Pour the jar of salsa around the pork shoulder.

    Step 4

    Cook on low heat for 8-12 hours.

    Step 5

    Remove the pork to a plate and using 2 forks, shred the into bite size pieces (I like to remove the visible pieces of fat).

    Step 6

    Pour a scoop or two of the juices into the pork and stir to combine (If you want to remove the excess fat from the juice you will use, pour it into a cup and refrigerate it until the fat solidifies and can be easily scooped out. Only the juices will remain).

    Step 7

    Place the pork into the tortillas.

    Step 8

    Serve with desired accompaniments.
