This fork-tender pulled pork tastes fabulous on a bun, in a wrap or tortilla. My kids like to eat it spooned over rice in its citrus-flavored juices.—Mindy Oswalt, Winnetka, California

2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons each ground cumin, paprika and pepper
1 bunch fresh cilantro, divided

This is amazing! We had a pig roast, so I had a lot of leftover pork. I shredded it and put it in a crock pot and just added all of the ingredients. It worked out great! It is very flavorful. I will be making this again for sure!!! It's a must try! You will love it.

This turned out great, made it while I was camping. Everyone loved the flavor combinations!

With the recipe liquid, I braised the meat in the oven (covered dutch oven) for 4 hours and then shredded it. Everyone in the family loved it (and my kids a rather picky eaters) ! It was so yummy I had a request from my kids to make it again a day later.
