  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 teaspoons salt

  • Mix the chicken broth, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, oregano, red pepper, and salt in a large slow cooker. Add the onion and garlic; mix well. Add the pork; toss to coat.
  • Cover and cook on high for 5 hours or until the meat is tender.
