These are inspired from one of my favorite food-bloggers at For the Love of Cooking... Mom and I have both made these with pork and with beef - my favorite is pork and it was a huge hit at our mexifest...
Braised Pork (for tacos, burritos, etc)
1 large pork loin - fat trimmed off
cumin
salt and pepper
garlic powder
paprika
chili powder
coriander
2 Tbs olive oil
7 oz can of green chilis
1 poblano pepper, chopped coarsely
2 jalapeno peppers, chopped finely
6 cloves garlic - chopped
1 bunch cilantro - chopped coarsely
~2 cups of beef broth
Rub (aka coat) meat in dry herbs. Warm large frying pan over high heat with olive oil. Sear each side of the pork for 2-4 minutes until crust has formed to seal in the juices and flavor. Put in crockpot. Cover the pork with the chilis, garlic, and peppers. Sprinkle the cilantro all over the top. Pour broth over meat until it is full about halfway in the crockpot. Cook on low for 5-6 hours or high for 4 hours. Meat is ready when a fork separates the pork easily. Serve with sour cream, guacamole... duh.. you know the rest!!
Can cook in a dutch oven in a 300 degree oven for ~3-4 hours until meat separates easily.
