Ingredients

    For the Carnita Meat:
    -2 lbs of Pork roast, trimmed of fat.
    -A few teaspoons of Taco Seasoning.
    -One can of Mild Ro*tel Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies.

Directions

Trim as much fat from the pork as possible. Meanwhile, spray your crockpot with cooking spray & turn to high. Pour in the can of Mild Ro*tel, or whichever version you chose. Sprinkle taco seasoning onto pork, rub into pork, trying to cover it as much as possible. Place pork in crockpot. Place fresh Cilantro on top. Cook 6-7 hours, or until meat falls apart with fork.
