Spicy Shredded Pork

This recipe is adapted from Pioneer Woman's Shredded Pork.  I would have made it exactly like hers but I had different meat and less time on hand.



  • 3-4 pound pork roast
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 1 Tablespoon (to 2 Tablespoons) Salt
  • Pepper To Taste
  • 3 cloves (to 4 Cloves) Garlic
  • 1 Tablespoon (to 2 Tablespoons) Olive Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons (to 3 Tablespoons) White Wine Vinegar
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons dried onion flakes (you can use one whole medium onion cut up, instead)
  • Lime Wedges
  • Sour Cream, Shredded Cheese, Cilantro

Mix ingredients oregano through dried onion flakes in a blender until they are completely combined.  Cut visible fat from pork roast and rinse.  Put pork roast in a slow cooker and cover with the blended mixture.  Put two cups of water in the slow cooker over the meat.  Cook on low for about 8 hours.  Shred with a fork and serve however you'd like.  I put lime juice on top of my meat, on a tortilla, with cilantro, shredded jalapeno cheddar and sour cream.  Delicious!
