Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3-5 lb . pork roast
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar ((or light))
  • 1 cup root beer
  • 1 cup salsa ((any preference))
  • 1 tbsp . mustard powder
  • 3 cloves garlic; minced/grated
  • 1 tbsp . green chilies
  • Salt/pepper to taste
  • Corn tortillas
  • Oil; high heat variety
  • Plum Salsa

Instruction

  • Place the roast in a slow cooker.
  • In a bowl, whisk all the remaining ingredients together and pour over the roast.
  • Cook for at least 6 hours on low.
  • Once it is thoroughly cooked and has basically fallen apart, shred any large chunks.
  • Mix the meat into the sauce and lower the temp to the lowest setting-keep warm.
  • To make mini tostadas, you can purchase small taco size corn tortillas at your local Mexican market. If you don’t live near a Mexican market, you can buy regular size and use a large biscuit cutter to punch out smaller tortillas.
  • Heat a frying pan with oil and once the oil is hot, fry the tortillas to the desired crispiness. Usually about 1 minute.
  • Using a slotted spoon, layer some strained sweet pork onto the crispy shell and top with fresh plum salsa.
  • Optional garnishes include queso fresco and cilantro.
