Alisa's Mexican Pulled Pork

This meat was SO good!!! Thanks to Alisa for making it for us and for sending me the recipe below so I can try it on my own sometime. I LOVED it!!!

Ingredients & Directions:
- 1 Pork Loin
*You can find these at HEB already marinated or you can buy just the plain ones
*This usually goes on sale every couple of months and can be easily stored raw in the freezer for quite a while
- Put the pork loin on your oven broiler tray and broil for 20-40 mins at 400 degrees until browned (The longer you cook it in the over the quicker it will cook in the crock pot, but the crock pot makes the meat tender).
- Slice into the meat in several places. Put browned meat into the crock pot and add tomato sauce until covered (if you like your meat extra saucy add more).
- Add onions, garlic, adobo seasoning (Goya makes a good one), chili powder, salsa, and cumin all according to your tastes. You could also just add a can of canned enchilada sauce or tomato sauce and a packet of taco seasoning.
- Let the meat cook for several hours (at least 4 or 5, but you can leave it in on low all day long) Stir and check fluid levels every couple of hours.
- Slice and tear with fork when tender. You know the meat is completely done when it shreds easily with a fork.
- Meat can be used for tacos, enchiladas, nachos or anything else Mexican. I usually make more than we need. I freeze half it and then keep the rest for various Mexican meals through out thought the week.
