Ingredients

1

can (19 oz) Old El Paso™ red enchilada sauce
1

package (1 oz) Old El Paso™ original taco seasoning mix
2

tablespoons chili powder
2

teaspoons dried oregano leaves
2

teaspoons ground cumin
2

teaspoons salt
1

boneless pork shoulder (3 to 4 lb)
1

carton (32 oz) Progresso™ chicken broth
1

can (28 oz) Muir Glen™ organic fire-roasted crushed tomatoes, undrained
1

can (15.25 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
Sliced radishes, shredded cabbage, diced avocado, crumbled queso fresco, chopped cilantro and lime wedges, as desired

Steps

1

Spray 5-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Mix enchilada sauce, taco seasoning mix, chili powder, oregano, cumin and salt in cooker. Add pork shoulder; turn to coat.
2

Cover; cook on Low heat setting 8 to 9 hours or until very tender. Remove pork from slow cooker; when cool enough to handle, shred pork with fork. Remove 1 cup cooking liquid; place in large bowl. Add shredded pork to bowl; toss to coat.
3

Meanwhile, discard remaining cooking liquid; wipe out slow cooker. Spray slow cooker with cooking spray. Add broth, tomatoes and corn; stir in pork. Cover; cook on High heat setting 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours 30 minutes or until hot. Serve with remaining ingredients.

Want to save time after shredding pork? Instead of heating broth mixture in slow cooker, place broth, tomatoes and corn in large microwavable bowl; cover with plastic wrap, and microwave on High 8 to 10 minutes or until steaming. Pour into clean slow cooker; stir in pork, and keep warm until ready to serve.
Place pork fatty side up in slow cooker so roast bastes itself as it cooks.
