Cerdo desmenuzado mexicano en olla de cocción lenta

Ingredientes

• 1 can crushed or diced tomatoes*
• 1/2 onion (roughly chopped)
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 bunch cilantro
• 1 packet of taco seasoning
• 3 lb pork loin roast
• salt
• canned black beans (optional)

Preparación

1. 1

   Pour the tomatoes into the crockpot. Place the pork on top, fat side up. Add the other ingredients, reserving some of the cilantro for garnishing. You don't even need to chop the garlic—just peel it and fling it in there.

2. 2

   Cook on high for several hours. After about 3-4 hours turn it down to low if it seems like it's close to being done. Or, if it's going to be cooking all day, just put it on low from the start.

3. 3

   When it's done (it should fall apart easily), remove the fat, shred the pork, and let the shredded pork cook in the tomato-y juices a while longer. Either remove the chunks of garlic or smash them up and stir them around. Season to taste with salt, additional taco seasoning, or hot sauce if you want to spice things up.
