Ingredients

  • 2 Pounds Boneless Pork Loin
  • 2 Cloves Garlic halved
  • 1 Tablespoon Salt
  • 1 Teaspoon Pepper
  • Pinch of Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon Chipotle Paste/Puree
  • Juice of 1 Lime
  • 1 Cup Beer or Chicken Stock
  • A Few Dashes of Hot Sauce

Instructions

  1. Pat the pork loin roast dry using some paper towels. Cut four, one-inch slits into the non-fatty side of the roast. Stick the garlic halves into the slits.
  2. Mix the dry seasonings together in a small bowl. Take the chipotle paste and rub it into the pork roast on both sides. Then take the mixed spices and rub them into each side of the roast as well.
  3. Add the lime juice and beer to the crock pot. Place the pork roast into the liquid. Cover with the lid and cook on high for four hours or low for eight hours.
  4. After that time, remove the pork and remove the fat if there is any. Shred the pork into bite-size pieces. Return the shredded pork to the Crock Pot.
  5. Right before serving, place the amount of pork you want to eat on a baking sheet, add a few dashes of hot sauce, and then place the pork under the broiler for 5-7 minutes to crisp up the pork. Serve right away.
