Directions

Combine the tomato sauce, chili powder, brown sugar, coriander and cumin in the base of your slow cooker. Stir to combine and distribute the spices evenly.

Sprinkle the pork with salt and pepper and place it in the slow cooker. Using tongs, turn the pork to coat it evenly in the sauce. Add in the garlic and onions, stir again. Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook until the pork is tender and beginning to fall apart, on low 8 to 10 hours or on high 4 to 6 hours.

Transfer the pork to a serving bowl. Allow to cool slightly, and then shred using 2 forks, removing any excess fat.

Skim any excess fat off of the sauce remaining in the slow cooker. Stir in the lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Add the shredded pork back into the slow cooker and mix it with the sauce that was created during the cooking. You can store the pork in its sauce for 3 to 4 days.

    This was THE easiest and best pulled pork I've ever had! I am NOT a pork fan in general but have 3 boys who really love anything from a pig. This was so simple to do on a Saturday of running around with the family & then came home to pull it apart & then I let it cool in a tupperware to then refridegerate it overnight & then put it in the crockpot the next day so lunch was a breeze and DELICIOUS!!! My family just loves eating the pork right out of the pot! It was SO moist and simple I will use again and again.

    Excellent, no-fuss receipe. I left out the brown sugar and added a can of Rotel for a bit of extra heat. I also added fresh cilantro at the end.
