Between moving into a new apartment, going out of town for work tomorrow, and getting ready for a vacation in a week – it has been crazy. The only thing I have even been able to think about cooking (sorry!) is something I can whip together in just a few minutes and come back to hours later after innumerable trips to Target. This is the perfect dish for that and a wonderful twist on a traditional pulled pork. Delish.

Looks like a winner to me! Congrats about the new place. This reminds me of “Cochinita Pibil” I can’t wait to try it. Thanks!
This was Awesome! I do have a ‘note to self’ for next time tho!! Chop habaneros with GLOVES! Nail beds and under my nails BURNED all day! Weird! LOL! I cooked it on low for 8 hours (6 hours wasn’t quite enough) and the meat just fell off! This is a freezer meal for the week! Can’t wait!
This was delicious! When I made it the first time I used tenderloin, 1 very spicy jalapeno, and chili powder instead of the paste. It had a wonderful texture and a little zing to it! Either way though, it’s still quite tasty!
