- 3 pound pork sirloin roast
- 16 ounces Dr. Pepper
- 28 ounces enchilada sauce
- ¾ cup sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoon minced garlic
- ¾ teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- ⅓ teaspoon chili powder
- corn tortillas
- pico de gallo
Spray the slow cooker with cooking spray.
Combine pork and Dr. Pepper in the cooker and cover. Cook on high for about 4 hours.
After 4 hours, pour the remaining ingredients into a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add this mixture to your slow cooker and allow it to cook an additional 2-3 hours.*Note - after about 2 hours turn the heat to low just to let those flavors simmer a little longer, but 2 hours is usually sufficient. It's done when the pork is falling apart as you try to remove it from the cooker. Add pork to flour or corn tortillas and add any desired toppings.
