EASY CROCK-POT PULLED PORK BURRITO BOWLS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the spices: chili powder, cumin, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub the meat on all sides with the spice rub.
• In the base of a crock-pot, place the onion wedges and garlic. Place the rubbed pork over the top of the onions and garlic, followed by the beer, lime juice, and then the chipotle peppers. Cook the pork on high for 6 hours.
• After six hours, the meat should easily pull apart when shredded with a fork. Using two forks, shred the meat. Serve the pulled pork over rice (recipe below). Top with your choice of toppings. Retain some of the juice from the crock-pot if you plan to store the meat in the fridge or freezer.
• For the rice: In a large pot, bring the broth, rice, lime juice, salt, and olive oil to a boil. Cover the pot with a lid, and then reduce to a simmer. Simmer the rice for 20 minutes, until the rice has absorbed the liquid. Remove the rice from the heat and stir in the chopped cilantro. Serve under the pulled pork.

PULLED PORK (CROCK POT)

Steps:

• Slice one onion and place in crock pot.
• Put in the roast and cover with the other onion, sliced. Pour over the ginger ale. Cover and cook on LOW for about 12 hours. See Note2 below regarding amount of time needed!
• Remove the meat, strain and save the onions, discard all liquid. With two forks, shred the meat, discarding any remaining fat, bones or skin. Most of the fat will have melted away.
• Return the shredded meat and the onions to the crock pot, stir in the barbecue sauce. Continue to cook for another 4 to 6 hours on LOW.
• Serve with hamburger buns or rolls and additional barbecue sauce. Any leftovers freeze very well.
• TIP: freeze ready-made sandwiches - a scoop of meat on a bun, well-wrapped. These make a great quick meal or snack. To reheat, remove wrapping, wrap in a paper towel, and zap 1-2 minute in the microwave.
• Note: Shoulder or butt are recommended because the meat shreds very well. Other cuts do not shred as readily. It is a fattier cut, but the fat melts away in the cooking and is poured away when you discard the liquid.
• Note 2: I have an older, smaller crock pot. The above times work perfectly for me. But if you have a newer or bigger crock pot, you may need to revise times downward, esp. after the bbq sauce is added. I think you need at least a couple of hours for it all to meld, but that may be all you need. Update: I recently bought a bigger crockpot, I think 5 or 6 qts. I cooked a 6 lb pork shoulder in it for 8 hours and it was shreddable at that point. Shredded, added the sauce, and cooked for another hour or so to meld everything. So use your best judgment on timing!
• Note3: You might want to turn your roast over after it's cooked a while, to ensure more even cooking. I think this may depend on the size and shape of your roast and the size of your slow cooker. Remember that each time you remove the lid you lose heat and be careful, as turning a large piece of meat is awkward.
• Note4: my sister says this takes 2 hours in the Instapot. I don't have one, up to you to figure out the steps.
