Description
This has become a staple in our home. We absolutely love this pork. There is a restaurant chain here in utah called costa vida and this is as close as we have come to replicating the sweet pork they make there for the burritos/salads/etc.
Ingredients
- Pork Roast
- Salsa
- Brown Sugar
- Vegetable Oil
- Kosher Salt
- Fresh Ground Black Pepper
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a skillet over high heat–we prefer to use cast-iron for searing, so if you have one, use it
- Rub the salt and pepper all over the roast
- Sear the roast in the skillet for 1-2 min per side
- Toss the seared roast in your crock-pot
- Sprinkle the brown sugar over the roast and then dump the salsa over the top of that
- Cook on low for 10-12 hours
- You will know when the roast is done, because it will shred easily with a couple of forks
- Shred the pork right there in your crockpot and mix it all up with the drippings and other liquids
- Serve as a filling for tacos / burritos or on top of salads
