Time 10h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cup bottled barbecue sauce
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 (4 1/2 ounce) cans diced green chilies
1/4 cup chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 (2 1/2 lb) well-trimmed boneless pork loin roast
1/2 cup chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Mix sauce ingredients in a 3-quart or larger crock pot; add pork, then spoon sauce over pork to cover.
  • Cover cooker and cook on high 3 1/2 hours or on low 8 to 10 hours, until pork is tender; Remove pork to a cutting board and, using 2 forks, pull meat into shreds.
  • Pour sauce into serving bowl; stir in cilantro and shredded pork and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: For this recipe, a pork shoulder or butt roast is ideal. These cuts have a good amount of fat, which helps to keep the meat moist during cooking. You can also use a pork loin roast, but it is important to monitor the cooking time carefully to prevent the meat from drying out.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the pork its flavor, so be sure to use a combination of spices and herbs that you enjoy. Some popular options include garlic, cumin, chili powder, and oregano. You can also add some citrus juice or vinegar to help tenderize the meat.
  • Cook the pork slowly: Pork shoulder and butt roasts are best cooked low and slow. This allows the collagen in the meat to break down, which makes it tender and juicy. You can cook the pork in a Dutch oven in the oven or on the stovetop over low heat. If you are cooking the pork in the oven, be sure to cover the pot to keep the moisture in.
  • Don't overcook the pork: Overcooked pork is dry and tough. To prevent this, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork. The pork is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well done.

Conclusion:

Tex-Mex pork roast is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With a flavorful marinade and slow cooking, the pork is tender and juicy. Serve the pork with your favorite Tex-Mex sides, such as refried beans, Mexican rice, or corn tortillas. You can also top the pork with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
