I saw a barbacoa recipe on here, I liked it, but realized when making it that I was modifying it so much that it was no longer the same recipe. So, I took down what I was doing the next time and, you're welcome ;)

Steps

1

Collect all ingredients
2

Heat oil in pan on med/high. Brown pork loin on all sides.
3

Put your pork in the crock pot
4

In the same pan with all the porky goodness, sauteé your onions
5

In your blender add half your onion, all of the garlic, and Chipotle peppers. I just add the entire can/jar, we like heat
6

Blend those babies up
7

Pour in with your pork.
8

Drain the tomatoes, dump into the blender. Squeeze the heck out of your limes/lemons into the blender. Take out seeds if they sneak in.
9

A thinner sauce than earlier.
10

Pour it in with the pork and the Chipotle sauce
11

Add beef broth
12

Add ginger ale or chicken broth, I like ginger ale
13

Cook on high for 5 hrs
14

Remove when fork tender
15

Shred that beast apart like so
16

Return to juices in crock pot
17

While you wait sauteé peppers and onions. Use some of the pork juice to sweat them (or serve raw, they are beautiful either way)
18

Remove about 2 cups liquid, but reserve for storing and reheating leftovers (pain in the butt, but you'll thank me)
19

You're ready to serve up some beautiful barbacoa pork

I love to experiment with dishes that I've had before and *Julie* them up. I've ruined my family for restaurants ;) I love that I get requests for recipes as gifts, to me that is a great compliment. I still consider myself am apprentice tho.
