Instructions
Sprinkle your roast with a generous amount of meat tenderizer, salt and pepper, set aside for later.
Pour your oil in a large skillet and heat over medium heat.
Once your oil is hot, saute your onion for a couple of minutes, until it is just starting to get translucent.
Put your garlic in your skillet and cook for another minute.
Push all of your onion and garlic to the side of your skillet and brown your roast on all sides in your skillet.
Now you put your roast in your 6 quart crock pot with your onion mixture and enchilada sauce on top.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, your pork is done when it is fork-tender.
Shred your roast with a couple of forks.
If desired, place shredded pork on a cookie sheet and broil for 1-2 minutes to crisp up some of the edges and serve in tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas, burritos or on nachos.
