10 servings

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 0.5 teaspoon crumbled dried oregano
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 (4 pound) boneless pork shoulder roast
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 cups chicken broth

Instructions

  • Mix salt, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, coriander, and cinnamon together in a bowl; coat pork with spice mixture. Place bay leaves in the bottom of a slow cooker and arrange pork on top. Pour chicken broth around the sides of pork, being careful not to rinse off spice mixture.
  • Cover and cook on Low, turning after 5 hours, until pork shreds easily with a fork, about 10 hours in total.
  • When the pork is tender, remove from the slow cooker; shred with two forks. Use cooking liquid as needed to moisten the meat.
