Shredded Pork Filling

Shredded Pork Filling for Chimichangas, tacos, burritos, soft tacos
2 pound boneless pork
1 t. salt
1/2 t. dried oregano
1/2 t. ground cumin
4 peppercorns
1 bay leaf
2 garlic cloves
1 medium onion
Place pork in a deep pan and just barely cover with water. Add remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce heat, cover and simmer gently until just fork tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove pan from heat and let pork cool in broth. Lift meat from broth and shred by using two forks, or place chunks in a food processor with plastic blade and process for about 10 seconds. Makes 4 cups
Variations: Crockpot: sprinkle meat with 1 t. garlic powder, 1/2 t. oregano, and 1/2 t. cumin. Place in crockpot and pour 1 cup purchased or homemade green chile sauce over top. Cool on low heat for 8 to 10 hours.
Carnitas: Place cooked pork in a roaster pan and bake uncovered in a 450 oven until brown and sizzling, about 20 minutes. Remove and shred.
