- 1 Tablespoon of salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon cumin

- zest of 1 lime

Instructions

The night before, cut small holes in the roast and stuff the garlic slivers into the holes.

In a little bowl, add your lime juice, lime zest and spices to make a paste.
-
Slather your roast with the paste making sure to get it all over.
-
Place in a ziplock over night in the refrigerator.
-
The next morning put your roast in your slow cook and cook on low all day. My slow cooker has an 8 hour setting so that is what I used.
-
When the roast is done, it should fall apart very easily with two forks.
-
Shred and use for tacos, nachos or on sandwich buns.
