This is a very moist, tender, just the right amount of sweet, pork roast for enchiladas, burritos, or tacos. I live in Utah and there is a very popular Tex- mex restaurant here that serves sweet pork barbacoa. People are crazy about this shredded pork. Many times Ive been to the restaurant and there is a line out the door of people waiting just for the PORK! (thats how good it is!) This is recipe is so close I can't tell a difference. It takes quite a bit of time, but be patient! its worth it! Ingredients:
