Slow Cooker Salsa Verde Pork

This is, quite possibly, the easiest and one of the most delicious recipes for pork I have ever eaten.  We used it for tacos but you could use it in enchiladas, on salad, in taquitos or just eat it by itself over rice!  It is so good and quick to throw together.  Perfect for busy days when you want a hot meal!  Put it together the night before and all you have to do is stick it in the slow cooker before you leave the next day!

Slow Cooker Salsa Verde Pork (adapted from chef-in-training.com)

1 (2 lb.) pork loin roast (fat removed)
Salt
1 (16 oz.) jar salsa verde (I used Herdez)
1 (4 oz.) can diced green chiles
1 t. ground cumin

Spray the slow cooker with cooking spray and place the pork in the bottom of the slow cooker.  Salt the pork all over and pour in the salsa verde, green chiles and cumin.  Cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-4 hours.  Shred using two forks and serve!
