Mexican Shredded Pork

 
   
   
   
Ingredients -  
   

1 (3 pound) Boneless Pork Loin Roast, cut into 2 inch pieces
1/2 teaspoon Salt
2 (4 ounce) cans diced Green Chili Peppers
3 cloves Garlic, crushed
1/4 cup Chipotle Sauce
3 1/4 cups Water, divided
1 1/2 cups uncooked Long Grain White Rice
1/4 cup Fresh Lime Juice
1/4 cup chopped Cilantro

 
   
Preparation:  
   

Place the roast in a slow cooker, and season with salt. Place chili peppers and garlic on top of roast. Pour in the chipotle sauce and 1/2 cup water. Cover, and cook 7 hours on Low.

In a pot, bring remaining 2 3/4 cups water and rice to a boil. Mix in the lime juice and cilantro. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes.

Remove roast from the slow cooker, and use two forks to shred. Return pork to the slow cooker, and allow to sit 15 minutes to absorb some of the liquid.

Serve over the cooked rice.
