Method
Heat
oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the pork and sear on each
side until browned (about 2 minutes per side). Transfer pork to the slow
cooker.
Add
remaining ingredients, and give the mixture a careful stir to combine.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours until the pork is completely tender and shreds
easily with a fork.
Once
the pork is cooked, preheat your broiler to high heat and prepare two
baking sheets with aluminum foil. Use a fork to shred the meat into
bite-sized pieces, and then use a slotted spoon to transfer it to the
prepared baking sheets, spreading it out evenly in a single layer.
Reserve the remaining broth from the slow cooker.
Place
one sheet under the broiler for about 5 minutes, or until the edges of
the pork begin crisping up. Remove the sheet, and use a spatula or tongs
to carefully toss the pork. Then ladle about 1/4 cup of the remaining
slow cooker broth over the pork. Broil for an additional 5 minutes to
get the meat more crispy. Then remove and ladle an additional 1/4 cup of
broth over the crispy pork.
Repeat with the other baking sheet of pork.
Serve immediately in tacos, burritos, salads, or whatever sounds good to you! Or cover and refrigerate or freeze.
