2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 onions, finely chopped
6 cloves garlic, minced

soft taco shells - i like to fry mine in a little oil than fill it with the pork

Preparation:

Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. In large Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat; brown pork all over. Transfer to slow cooker.

Add onions, garlic and chili powder to Dutch oven; fry, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened, about 4 minutes.

Add chicken stock, stirring to scrape up brown bits from bottom of pan; scrape into slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 10 hours or until pork is tender.

Transfer pork to cutting board. Trim off excess fat; with 2 forks, shred pork. Return pork to slow cooker.
