2 cans Rotell tomato's with green chilies
2-4 garlic cloves minced
small onion chopped
1/2t oregano
1/4t ground cloves
2t chipotle pepper

Brown your pork in oil on all sides then place in crock pot. Add the rest of the ingredients and cook on low 8-10 hours!!! Piece of Cake!!! I am going to make alil taco out of it but it is very yummy by itself!
okay so I had to jump back on here and add and write more after I published this!!! OMG this is sooo good, I was somewhat apprehensive about it but man it has such good flavor and just the right amount of spice!!!!
I also made some chocolate chip cookies. Nothing special to the recipe, I always use butter flavored Crisco and use the recipe that comes with that!!! Refuse to make them without the Crisco!!
