Pulled Pork Fajitas

This is a great recipe because it uses one of the best inventions ever to enter our kitchens...Slow Cooker. Just toss everything into the slow cooker in the morning and it's ready when you get home.

1 Boneless pork loin roast (2 1/2 pound)
1 onion thinly sliced
2 cups Ketchup (cheap kind)
2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
3/4 cup salsa (I'll let you determine how hot you like it)
2 tbsp garlic seasoning
1 tbsp BBQ seasoning
1 tsp chili powder

Combine all your ingredients in the slow cooker leaving out the roast. Whisk until combined. Place roast in and turn until coated or spoon mixture over roast. Leave on low for 8-10 hours. You'll know it's ready when the pork shreds apart with a fork. Continue to shred it all and then serve wrapped in tortillas. You can serve on a bun instead if you want a change. To make sweet and spicy you can add 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup.

I suggest serving with some coleslaw either in the fajitas or on the side. I like the crunch factor in my fajita.

Coleslaw
1 green cabbage shredded
1 raddichio shredded
3 carrots shredded
1/4 cup mayo or plain yogurt
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp mustard
1tbsp garlic seasoning
2 tsp BBQ seasoning

Since there is so much shredding to do in this recipe I suggest using the shred attachment for your food processor if you have one. I pull mine out for large shredding jobs like this or for large amounts of cheese. Combine dressing ingredients in a large bowl and stir to combine. Add shredded ingredients ontop and stir all together. I suggest making this before hand so that the flavors can get to know eachother. You can make it in the morning or the night before.
