This recipe is great fixed with chicken, pork, beef and even venison, so when you want a recipe that can make several meals, Slow Cooker Mexican Style Meat is what you will want to make. Burrito’s, Taco’s, any Mexican meal! Freezes well too!

- Place the browned roast to the slow cooker and top it with the chopped onion.
- Season with chile peppers, chili powder, cayenne pepper, hot pepper sauce, and garlic powder. Adjust ingredients to your taste as this can be quite spicy!
- Add enough water to cover 1/3 of the roast.
- Cover. Cook on High for 6 hours, checking to make sure there is a small amount of liquid in the bottom of the crock.
- Reduce heat to Low, cook for 2 to 4 hours longer, or until meat is tender and falls apart.
- Transfer the meat to a bowl and shred using two forks (reserve 2 cups of cooking liquid, if desired).
