What You’ll Need

  • 2 lbs pork butt

  • 1 Tbsp coarse kosher salt

  • 2 Tbsp smoked paprika

  • 1 medium white onion, diced

  • 1 cup chopped cilantro

 

Let’s Cook

  1. Prep the Pork
    Cut pork butt into 2-inch cubes (roughly even in size).

  2. Load the Cooker
    Place pork, salt, smoked paprika, onion, and cilantro into a slow cooker. Stir to coat evenly.

  3. Cook Low & Slow
    Cover and cook on high for 4 hours, checking around the 3-hour mark. Pork is done when it shreds easily with a fork.

  4. Shred & Mix
    Remove pork, shred with two forks, then stir it back into the cooking liquid for extra flavor.
