Ingredients

  • 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
  • teaspoon chili powder
  • corn tortillas
  • pico de gallo

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

Serving a crowd. Plan for about 1 pound of this pork recipe for every 3 people. Keep the meat warm in a chafing dish or in a crock pot. 
STORE. Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
FREEZE for 2-3 months. Thaw in the fridge before using.
