1 Boneless pork shoulder roast
1 ea White onion, cut into thin strips
2 ea Poblano chiles, cut into thin strips
2 ea Jalapeno chiles, minced
2 ea Anaheim or hatch green chilies, cut into thin strips
2 C Tomatillos, cut into large chunks (approx. ¾ inch)
3 cloves Fresh garlic
1 T Salt
½ tsp Garlic Powder
½ tsp Black pepper
Cut onions into fine strips (approx. 1/8 inch thick) and place in bottom of crock pot.
Wash and cut tomatillos and place half in bottom of crock pot.
Place pork roast into crock pit and sprinkle with salt and garlic powder.
Add remaining tomatillos and cut chilies on top of pork roast.
Turn crock pot on and cook for a minimum of 6 hours. If crock pot has a high setting you can use this for the first 2 hours, but don't rush it too much or the pork will be tough.
After 6 hours pork should be fork tender and ready to shred. Turn crock pot off or set on low and remove lid. Depending on the cut of pork used it might be necessary to remove any pieces of fat prior to shredding.
Using tongs or gloved hands shred pork into taco size pieces. Add pepper and additional salt to personal preference.
