Spicy Shredded Pork



My husband really loved this meal! The pork was very tasty and the flour tortillas, lime, and sour cream add a really nice Mexican style touch.

Ingredients
4 - 7 lb pork shoulder
1 onion
1 tsp chili powder
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp garlic
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp cumin
1 -2 tbsp salt
pepper
1 -2 tbsp olive oil
2 -3 tbsp white wine vinegar 
flour tortillas
lime wedges

Directions
1. Rinse the pork shoulder and pat dry. Place pork in a roasting pan. Combine all marinade ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth  (I used a blender)

2. Pour over pork shoulder and rub it in thoroughly. Add about 1-2 cups of water. Cover tightly and roast pork at 300 for several hours until pork is fork tender.  After 3 hours, remove cover and cook at 450 for an additional 15-20 minutes.

3. Shred with two forks. Pour the juices over the meat, sprinkle lime juice on top, and serve with warm tortillas, sour cream, salsa, or anything else you like.
