Ingredients
  

  • 6-8 pound pork shoulder bone in or bone out
  • 2 bottles root beer
  • 4 8-oz cans tomato sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons honey
  • 5 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 teaspoons cumin

Tortillas

  • shredded cheese
  • cilantro
  • sour cream

Instructions
 

  • Salt and pepper pork roast on both sides. Put in the slow cooker with about a cup or so of water. Cook on low for 8 hours or overnight.
  • The next morning, drain out all of the water and remove as much fat (or bone if you have one) as you can from the pork. Shred with two forks.
  • Mix root beer, tomato sauce, honey, garlic, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and cumin.
  • Pour sauce over pork and cook on LOW for another 3 to 4 hours.
  • Heat tortillas in a 350-degree oven. Add some shredded cheese and melt. Add pork, cilantro, and sour cream. I like a squeeze of lime on mine to freshen it up.
