Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
4 lb pork shoulder roast (the more fatty the roast, the better)
1 Cup of Pace Picante sauce. (Medium heat is best, but the mild version will work)
2 Cups brown sugar
(For larger roasts, adjust sauce quantity accordingly.)
Directions:
Directions:
Remove pork roast from packaging, and wash. (Avoid cutting the roast to expedite cooking time) Place the roast in the cooker. Pour picante sauce and brown sugar over pork and stir until sugar is mostly dissolved.

Place on medium heat, cover and simmer. Check it every hour or so to rotate roast in the juices. The roast will eventually produce enough juices to make the right consistency, so do not add water.
Once the roast is fully cooked, it will begin to fall apart. Use a fork to separate the meat into smaller segments. Cover and continue cooking.

After 8 hours, continue to shred the meat until no chunks remain. If it appears to be too juicy, turn slow cooker down to its lowest setting, remove the cover and let it reduce as needed.

Serve on salad or in flour tortillas, with favorite garnishes.
