Ingredients

  • I boneless pork butt roast, 3-4 lbs.

Note

I found this recipe in a magazine, but it calls for a package of taco seasoning which always contains wheat ingredients. Here is my gluten free version. I hope you like it as much as my family did!

Directions

1. Mix all dry spices together.
2. Cut roast in half & rub spices liberally over roast.
3. Put roast in crock pot, layering with sliced onion.
4. Pour tomatoes & chilis over meat.
5. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
6. Remove fat from crock pot.
