Crock Pot Pork Carnitas

***The perfect pork to use for tacos! Would be super tasty with some guacamole and a tortilla!***
Ingredients:
3-4 lb pork shoulder roast, 15 oz bottle green taco sauce, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 sliced sweet onion 1 TBSP chili powder, 2 tsp dried oregano, 2 tsp cumin, 2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, 1 cup beef broth (or water), 1/2 cup milk (DO NOT ADD TO THE CROCK POT),
Cut the roast into 3-4 large pieces. Pierce the meat all over with a knife. Place in a greased crock pot. Stir together taco sauce, garlic, onion, chilic powder, oregano, cumin, salt, cayenne, and broth/water. Pour over pork, turning pork pieces to coat each one. Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 8-10 hours. Remove meat pieces from cooking liquid and shred. Place shredded meat on a cookie sheet lined with tin foil that has been sprayed with vegetable oil. Pour 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid and 1/2 cup of milk over the pork. Bake in a 275 degree oven for about 45 minutes or until the edges are browned and crispy.
