Seasoned Slow Cooked Mexican Pulled Pork Carnitas

The slow cooked goodness of pulled pork,
flavored with a spicy and slightly
sweet mixture of seasonings,
highlights this excellent dish.
Carnitas is pork braised or roasted slowly
until it is easily shredded or chopped.
It is then roasted at higher heat
until it is caramelized.
Often served with cilantro,
onion, salsa, guacamole,
refried beans and tortillas.

Ingredients:
5 pounds pork shoulder roast
3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes - crushed
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
16 tortillas
3 cups salsa

Directions:
Place pork in a slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine the vinegar,
brown sugar, salt, red pepper flakes, black pepper, garlic powder,
and seasoning salt. Pour the mixture over the pork roast.
Cover the slow cooker and cook the pork on low heat for 10-12 hours.
Remove the roast to a tray or cutting board.
Using two forks, pull the meat apart until shredded.
Place shredded pork in a large bowl and pour some of the liquid
from the slow cooker over the meat until it is nice and moist.
Return the meat to the slow cooker
to keep it warm until it is ready to serve.
