Slow Cooker Mexican Pulled Pork

We have been eating a lot of pork lately because every

store seems to keep having pork on sale. I do different things

with it but I have been wanting to do Mexican pulled

pork for a while now. I found a basic recipe, after the basic

part I'll throw in my flair that I think would be good in it.

This recipe makes about 12 servings.

What you'll need:

3 1/2lb pork loin, shoulder or roast

4T chili powder

1T kosher salt

1T brown sugar

2tsp ground cumin

1tsp cayenne

1tsp oregano

1tsp onion powder

1tsp garlic powder

1/4tsp cinnamon

tortilla wraps

shredded mexican cheese

***My flair...

1 can corn

2 onions

2 bell peppers

1 tub pico

1 tub guacamole (or you can make your own)

Create:

Mix all your dry ingredients together and rub into your pork well.

Brown the pork in a frying pan on high for a few minutes on each

side till you have the whole pork browned. Place the pork in your

crockpot and cover the bottom with some water, just enough to

keep the pork moist.

Cook on low for 8 hours.

When the pork is almost done, sauteed corn, onions and peppers in a pan.

Drain the water off the pork and shred.

Add veggies and toss in.

Put your pulled pork mixture into a wrap, top with pico,

guacamole and cheese, serve and enjoy!
