FOR THE PORK (use 3 cups of the finished pork roast)
2 1/2 - 4 lbs boneless pork shoulder
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons cajun seasoning
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 tablespoon mesquite powder
1/2 cup frozen apple juice concentrate
1/2 cup cider vinegar
FOR THE TACOS
8 (6 inch) corn tortillas
1/2 cup sour cream
2 avocados, cut into 1/4 slices
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, may be chopped
mild green taco sauce, to taste
1/2 cup onion, chopped (optional)
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (optional)
1 cup vegetable oil, enough to cover tortillas in a small fry pan

1
Making the pork: COMBINE BROWN SUGAR THROUGH MESQUITE POWDER. Spread over entire roast. Refrigerate roast in a Ziploc bag for up to 24 hours.
2
PLACE APPLE JUICE and VINEGAR in a crock pot and add the spiced shoulder being careful not to lose the rub. Cook on high for two hours, then reduce to low for 10 more hours.
3
REMOVE THE ROAST and let rest for 30 minutes.
4
PULL roast apart with two forks.
5
Making the tacos: HEAT OIL in small fry pan on medium-high until hot. Fry tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side so they're starting to turn crispy but are still quite pliable. Drain on paper towels or paper bag.
6
SPREAD SOUR CREAM down the center of each tortilla along with slices of avocado and some cilantro.
7
DIVIDE THE PORK equally and top each taco with a portion. Finish with mild green taco sauce to taste and the optional onions and/or cheese.
8
FOLD TACO IN HALF and meditate while you lose yourself in culinary heaven!
