Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 pounds of beef (pork, or chicken (cheap cuts of meat work well for this))
  • good amount of salt & pepper to season meat with
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion (chopped)
  • 3 7oz diced green chile peppers, undrained
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons ground cumin
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 1 5 ounce bottle hot pepper sauce (I like Frank's hot sauce or Cholula)
  • 1/4 cup of water

Instruction

  • Trim the meat of any excess fat, and season well with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the meat in the hot skillet, and sear it quickly on all sides.
  • Transfer the meat to a slow cooker and top it with the chopped onion. Season with chopped green chiles, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, & hot pepper sauce.
  • Cover, and cook on low for 8 hours or until meat is tender & falling apart, checking to make sure there is always at least a small amount of liquid in the bottom of the cooker (add more liquid if need be).
  • Transfer the meat to a bowl and shred it using two forks.
