1.Pat dry pork tenderloin with paper towels. Combine rub ingredients and rub all over tenderloin then place in your Crockpot.

3.Remove the tenderloin from the Crockpot and shred the meat with two forks. Do not discard juices.

To Serve
1.Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add enough carnitas to cover the surface without crowding and ladle a little of the carnitas juice over.

2.Remove from skillet and drizzle with a little more juice. Serve.
