Incredible Mexican Pulled Pork Recipe

This is an amazing shredded pork recipe, similar to what you’d eat in a rice bowl or enchilada at a Mexican restaurant. It’s so easy, just simmer it in the slow cooker all day so it’s ready to enjoy when you arrive home. I serve it over lime and cilantro rice with Cheddar cheese, salsa, guacamole, and a dollop of sour cream.
