Serves: 6-8 SERVINGS

Ingredients
4 pound boneless pork shoulder
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
juice of 2 limes
1 small onion, finely sliced
1 large jalepeno, seed removed and finely diced

Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the pork shoulder
Combine the chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and pepper then sprinkle all over the pork. Gently pat the dry rub on to the meat so it sticks. Place the pork shoulder into the slow cooker
Drizzle the olive oil on top and add the onion and jalepeno
Squeeze the juice from two limes over the top and cook on low for 4-6 hours. The thicker the roast, the more time it will take to cook
After the meat is fully cooked, shred it with two forks, removing any large chunks of fat that remain. Mix the the pulled pork with all the juices in the slow cooker. If desired, spread the pork on a baking sheet and broil for five minutes for crispy shreds of pork
Serve with cilantro and diced avocados
