Cook on low for 7-8 hours. The meat should be tender and falling off the bone. Remove from slow cooker and let it cool slightly. Shred pork with 2 forks.
Heat 1 Tbsp of oil in a large non-stick pan over med-high heat. Place the shredded pork into the pan. Press it down and cook until the bottom side is a golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to burn it. Add a few spoonfulls of the juices from the crockpot to the shredded pork and serve immediately. Can be served in tacos, burritos, chimichangas, burrito bowls or on nachos. The options are endless and delicious.
Serving Suggestions
Filler for tacos, burritos, chimichangas, burrito bowls or nachos. Delicious with my cilantro-lime rice!
