Ingredients
1x
- • 3-4 pounds pork roast
- • 2-3 tablespoons adobo sauce (from chipotle peppers)
- • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- • 1 teaspoon minced garlic (about 2 cloves)
- • 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard

- • 1/4 cup white vinegar
- • 1/2 cup enchilada sauce
- • 1 cup Dr. Pepper (diet)
- • 1/2 to 1 cup additional brown sugar
Instructions
1
Place the pork roast in the slow cooker.
2
Sprinkle with salt, garlic, ground mustard, and adobo sauce. Pour over the enchilada sauce and Dr. Pepper. Evenly distribute 1/2 cup of brown sugar on top.
3
Cover and cook the pork on low for 10-12 hours or on high for 5-6 hours. Check if the meat shreds easily; if not, continue cooking until tender.

Shred the pork into larger chunks to prevent it from becoming mushy. Stir in an additional 1/2 to 1 cup of brown sugar based on your taste preference. Cover and cook for another 30 minutes.
