This crock pot Mexican spiced shredded pork can be eaten on it’s own or used in burritos, tacos, chimichangas, tamales (like I did in the picture below), nachos, toquitos or really whatever your heart desires to use it in! It’s delicious and easy to make! Seriously, just add the pork shoulder or butt roast into the crock pot, add spices and seasonings, turn the crock pot on low and come back in 8-9 hours to moist and delicious shred-able pork! So tender it will just fall apart! You can also freeze the leftovers for a easy and convenient meal later!
