Ingredients:
2 lbs pork shoulder
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons of Barbacoa Rub
2 cups low-sodium or homemade chicken stock
1 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste
- Place the pork a slow cooker.
- In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar and the Barbacoa Rub, combine well.
- To the spice mixture add the chicken stock and tomato paste, whisk to combine.
- Pour mixture over pork and set slow cooker to low heat for 7-8 hours or until pork is cooked thoroughly and shreds easily with the tines of a fork.
- Remove pork from the slow cooker to shred and remove as much fat from the remaining liquid in the slow cooker as possible.
- Return shredded meat to the slow cooker and continue cooking on low for another 1-2 hours or until ready to serve. The longer the meat cooks, the more tender and flavorful it will be – don’t be afraid to let it continue to cook.
- Serve on warm corn tortillas with salsa and Jack cheese and a squeeze of lime.
