I made these sandwiches on a whim one Sunday when friends called to say they wanted to drop by in the afternoon. I was able to feed them and my neighbors a casual supper. If you have time, you can coat the roast with the rub and store it, covered, in the fridge several hours before cooking for even more flavor. —Deb LeBlanc, Phillipsburg, Kansas

1 boneless pork shoulder butt roast (4 pounds)

2 cans (4 ounces each) chopped green chiles
