- Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

- Sautee garlic, jalopenos, red pepper, and onion in bacon grease till tender.
- Place roast on Renolds Wrap Foil inside a roasting pan. Leave enough foil on top to wrap completely.
- Cut criss-cross slits into top of the pork so seasoning can slip into the meat easily.

- Drizzle top with 2 tablespoons of bacon grease.
- Seal Renolds Wrap Foil securely and place roasting pan in the oven.
- Cook for 4 hours (meat should be so tender it falls apart).

- Put meat in a casserole dish and sprinkle with Monterrey Jack Cheese. Put back in oven to brown for 10 minutes at 400 degrees.
- Serve with homemade corn tortillas, cheese meat mixture, crumbled bacon, and a slice of avacodo.
- Top with a fresh squeeze of lime and dip in Rodriguez Dipping Sauce.

- Divide dough into about 12 balls, about 1/2-inch in diameter each.
