Slow Cooker Pork Tacos

3 lbs pork shoulder (or any pork loin that is well marbled with fat)
1 large onion, chopped
1 7 oz. can chili verde
1 7 oz. can chipotle peppers in adobe sauce, chopped up
1 tsp. oregano
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 Tbs. lime juice
Salt and Pepper
Corn/flour Tortillas
Cilantro
Chopped tomatoes

Put pork in crock-pot, salt and pepper. Add chili verde, peppers, cloves, oregano, half of the onion and lime juice. Cook on high for 5 hours or low for 8-10. Meanwhile, in a bowl add rest of chopped onion and some chopped up cilantro, cover and put in fridge. Take pork out with one hour left of cooking time, shred, and add it back to the pot along with a handful of chopped cilantro.

If using corn tortillas, warm them up in a saute pan on both sides. Top tacos with onion/cilantro mix and tomatoes and enjoy.
