directions

  • Add only 1/2 cup of water and the roast to crockpot.
  • Cover and cook on LOW setting 6-8 hours, until meat is tender and falling apart.
  • Remove roast from crockpot, allow to cool slightly; shred the meat, removing any remaining fat.
  • Remove any liquid from the crockpot and reserve it.
  • Place the meat back in the crockpot and season with salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder and/or taco seasonings of your choice. Mix well to coat meat.
  • Let this cook on LOW setting for about 3-4 hours. If the meat is very lean and dries out, use some of the reserved liquid to moisten it a bit.
  • Serve with warm flour tortillas, salsa, shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, chopped tomato, chopped onion, chopped cilantro, sour cream and/or guacamole.

  1. I did it with the chicken and wasn't that impressed. Gonna try it again with the roast.
     
  2. For taste, this is definitely a 5 star, but there are some instructions missing so I had to do some guessing. There is no mention of the onion or celery in the instructions so I just put them in the crock pot with the pork butt. I had 2 pounds of meat but did not alter any other ingredient. Fresh from the crock this was quite spicy, but after refrigerating overnight for tonight's dinner, it mellowed & was not at all spicy. I think we'd enjoy this best right in between those two levels so in the future I would add more spices for more meat or if I'm making ahead again. Very easy recipe & it smelled delicious all day! We served it tonight with flour tortillas, chopped tomato, green onion, lettuce, sour cream, salsa & 4-cheese Mexican blend. I loved that the meat did not dry out like past recipes we've tried. Thanks for sharing, Rachael! Made & enjoyed for the Fall 2009 PAC-O.
