1
If you have a crock pot like I do (which is a great investmentAll Clad brand) and you can use the insert right on the stovetop; use your insert for this step.
-
2
If you dont have a crock pot insert that can be used on the stove then use a Dutch oven or large stock pot for this step.
-
3
Heat oil on high in your crock pot insert (or Dutch oven).
-
4
Sprinkle salt, pepper, and granulated garlic on the pork shoulder.
-
5
Place the pork into the hot oil and sear it on all sides until they are golden brown.
-
6
Preheat crock pot while the pork is searing.
-
7
While the pork is searing, put all of the spices and brown sugar into a bowl and mix well.
-
8
Once the pork is done searing pour half of the rub on the top side of the pork and rub it into the meat with a spoon.
-
9
Then turn over the pork and do the same to the other side.
-
10
If you used a Dutch oven for the above, now is time to put the pork and all of the liquid into your crock pot.
-
11
Or if you did the above in your crock pot insert, place the insert into the crock pot.
-
12
Next, pour the soda over the meat.
-
13
Set the crock pot for 7 hours on high.
-
14
However, youll want to turn the meat over after about 3 hours cooking.
-
15
After the cooking has finished the meat will literally fall apart.
-
16
Take a minute to remove any fat that remains.
-
17
Then shred the pork with two forks or a fork and a set of tongs.
-
18
Stir the shredded pork around in the sauce to coat all of the meat.
-
19
Now the tacos: I like to make mine using white corn tortillas.
-
20
I soften the tortillas by throwing them directly on the burner (I use a gas range) and heat them for about 15 30 seconds on each sidejust until pliable and not burnt.
-
21
I place some pork, shredded lettuce and avocado in the tortilla.
-
22
Then give it a sprinkle of cheese, a dollop of sour cream and a squeeze of lime juice.
-
23
You may use any combination you like.
-
24
Enjoy!

25
*Please note the measurements for the ingredients to make the tacos are just an estimate in my opinion.
-
26
You may use whatever you like to make the tacos and however much you want.
