Mexican Style Shredded Pork Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Slow Cooker Recipes. (Mexican Style Shredded Pork Recipe). This is an amazing shredded pork recipe similar to what you would eat in a rice bowl (or in an enchilada) at a Mexican restaurant. It is easy to prepare and simmers in a slow cooker all day, ready to enjoy when you arrive home. I serve it over rice (laced with lime juice and fresh cilantro), Cheddar cheese, salsa, guacamole, and a dollop of sour cream. Amazing!
