  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Mexican oregano
  • Sea salt & black pepper to taste
  • 3-3½ lbs. pork shoulder roast trimmed
  • 1 small red onion diced
  • 1 4- oz. can green chilies mild
  • 3 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 28- oz. can tomatoes diced

  • 1 15- oz. can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 2 teaspoon liquid smoke
  • 1 cup chicken broth preferably organic

Instructions

  1. Combine garlic, cocoa powder, chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, and Mexican oregano in a small bowl. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and stir to combine.
  2. Rub pork roast with seasoning mixture on all sides and place in a 5 or 6-quart slower cooker crock. Arrange remaining solid ingredients around the pork, then pour the liquid smoke and chicken broth on top. Stir the ingredients on each side of the pork with a fork to combine.
  3. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours, or on low for 8. Do not remove lid while cooking.
