Ingredients:  
3 lb. pork sirloin or shoulder roast

1/4 C. McCormick Grill Mates Pork Rub

1 teaspoon Mexican oregano

1 1/2 tsp. salt

6 large garlic cloves, coarsely chopped or equal amount of garlic paste

1/3 C. fresh orange juice

1/3 C. white vinegar

1/3 C. A-1 sauce

1/2 C. water

1 can green enchilada sauce
Directions:
Directions:
Mince garlic and mash with salt to make a paste. Add pork rub and oregano and mix well. Stir in orange juice, vinegar and A-1 sauce.

Rub all sides of pork roast with marinade. Cover and place in refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

Roast can be placed in a tightly covered baking dish with the 1/2 cup water and baked for 1 3/4 to 2 hours. Meat should be fall apart tender.

OR

Place roast and marinade in crock pot and cook for 5 - 6 hours on high. Add the water if you don't think there is sufficient liquid for the cooking time.

When pork is done, cool enough to handle and move to a cutting board. Shred the meat with forks, removing any excess fat or bones. Pour off or dip out the liquid from the baking dish or crock pot and reserve. Return the meat and add the enchilada sauce and green chilies. Add a bit of the reserved cooking liquid if the mixture appears dry. It should have the texture of pulled pork barbecue. Heat through.

Serve on heated corn tortillas with Mexican cheese, sour cream and shredded cabbage or cole slaw with a vinegar based dressing.

My new favorite!

I cooked it in the crock pot and added the water. I'm not sure I needed to, but if you are leaving, it's probably a good idea and can be drained at the end.
