Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder and cut it into large chunks for even cooking.

  2. 2

    Mix the Spices

    In a small bowl, mix together red chili powder, cumin powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Rub the Spice Mixture

    Rub the spice mixture thoroughly over all sides of the pork chunks.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Sear the Pork

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil until shimmering. Add the seasoned pork chunks and sear on all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 5

    Add Broth and Vinegar

    Transfer the seared pork to a slow cooker. Pour in the chicken broth and apple cider vinegar.

  3. 6

    Cook the Pork

    Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours, until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

Serving

  1. 7

    Shred the Pork

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Serve the shredded pork garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges on the side.
