Fig It!

1 3-4 lb. pork tenderloin or loin roast
1 cup chicken broth
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 Tbsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
2 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. smoked Spanish paprika
2 tsp. mexican oregano
1 tsp. ground coriander
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 bay leaves

Place meat and broth in slow cooker and cover with the spices. Cook on high for 1 hour and then low for about 4 hours or until pork shreds easily. Shred meat, place meat on cooking sheet and crisp in a 400 degree oven for a short time. Moisten with cooking liquid.

This is great over rice with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime. Also a great filling for tacos, enchiladas. Or, mix with your favorite barbecue sauce and serve on buns.
