You need:
3 lb pork shoulder or pork butt
4 cups hot chicken broth
2 Tbs granulated garlic powder
2 Tbs onion powder
2 Tbs ground cumin
1 Tbs ground coriander
1 Tbs medium hot chili powder
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 Tbs lime juice

How Too:
Add hot chicken broth to slow cooker.
Add spices and lime juice and mix well.
Add pork to slow cooker
Cover and cook on High for 4 to 6 hours.
If possible, stir about once an hour.
Shred meat into cooking sauces when done.

After shredding the meat, I put it in a braising pan, added the crock pot juice a cup at a time, added some salt and coriander and powdered onion and let the meat cook down the liquid. Let the meat brown as the liquid evaporates. This resulted in a nice "bark" finish to the meat and it intensified the flavor. Add some remaining juice from Crock pot to keep the meat moist.
YUM :icon_pirat: YUM :tongue3: YUM! :hello2:

Serve with tortillas, taco chips, refried beans,
salsa, etc.
