Ingredients

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • 1 teaspoon cumin

  • 1 teaspoon adobo seasoning

  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 1 (4 pound) pork loin roast, cut into pieces

  • 1 tablespoon butter

Sauce:

  • 2 onions, chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes

  • ¾ cup barbeque sauce

  • ¼ cup brown sugar

  • 3 tablespoons hot pepper sauce

Directions

  1. Mix together flour, chili powder, paprika, cumin, adobo seasoning, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl. Add pork; toss to coat.

  2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; cook pork in batches in hot butter until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer browned pork to a slow cooker.

  3. Make sauce: Cook and stir onion and garlic in the same skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, and hot sauce; simmer for 5 minutes. Pour sauce over pork.

  4. Cook on Low for 5 to 6 hours. Transfer pork to a plate and shred with 2 forks. Return shredded pork to the slow cooker and stir to coat with sauce. Continue to cook, uncovered, until thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.
