Ingredients
  

  • 4 pounds pork sirloin tip roast or boneless ribs
  • ½ tsp garlic salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 cups salsa

Instructions
 

  • Cut off any visible fat on the pork. Season with salt and pepper and place in a 5-6 quart crock pot. Pour brown sugar and salsa over the top.
  • Add the lid, then cook on low for 7 hours, or high for 5.
  • Remove pork from the pot and place in a baking dish. (It works better than a cutting board because it catches the juices.) Use two forks to shred apart.
  • Skim off the fat from the top of the liquid in the pot. Return shredded meat to the crockpot and cook for another 30-60 minutes, or until heated through.
  • Serve with a slotted spoon, with all the fixins for tacos, burritos, or salad.

Notes

  • You can use pork tenderloin, boneless pork ribs, or pork sirloin roast. They all work fabulously
  • Suggested toppings: flour tortillas, cheese, shredded lettuce, pico or salsa, guacamole, black beans, cilantro lime rice, and cilantro lime ranch dressing.
