Slow Cooker Mexican Pork
Slow Cooker Mexican Pork is some of the best pulled pork you can make at home. On its own, stuffed into tacos or burritos, or served over rice, the pork is slightly spicy, with just enough heat to keep it interesting.

Instructions
- Place the roast in the crock-pot and sprinkle half of the spices over it. Turn the roast and cover with the remaining spices. Add the water and cover with the lid.
- Cook on LOW for 5-6 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours. When the roast is tender enough to shred, gently pull it apart with tongs or with two forks. Break it into bite size pieces and toss the pieces in any juices left in the bottom of the pot.
- To make taquitos, place a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Warm the tortillas in the skillet, one at a time, to make them soft and pliable for rolling. (For a classic flavor, warm 1/4 cup of oil in the skillet and then dip each tortilla in the oil prior to rolling them.)
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Set out a large baking sheet. Place a warmed tortilla on the sheet, layer a tablespoon or so of cheese across the center of the tortilla, and top with a few tablespoons of the pulled pork.
- Roll the tortilla around the filling and place it seam-side down on the baking sheet. Once all of the taquitos are rolled, bake until lightly browned and crisp on the edges. Serve with the condiments of your choice. Enjoy!
