Ingredients
- 4 lbs pork shoulder
- 2 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp cumin
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- Optional: avocado slices, for serving
Instructions
- Start by preparing your pork shoulder. Trim any excess fat and place it in the slow cooker.
- In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, cumin, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Rub this spice blend all over the pork to ensure it’s well coated.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic on top of the pork, spreading it evenly.
- Pour the chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, and lime juice into the slow cooker. These liquids will help to tenderize the meat as it cooks.
- Cover the slow cooker and set it to low heat. Allow it to cook for about 8 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
- Once the pork is done, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and stir it into the cooking juices for added flavor.
- Serve the pulled pork warm, garnished with fresh cilantro and avocado slices if desired. This dish can be enjoyed on its own or with a side of roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
