- 6 cups Chicken broth
- 14.5 ounces Diced tomatoes (with green chilies)

Instructions
Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder and cut it into 2-inch chunks.
Place the pork into the crockpot and add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and the drained hominy.
Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes with green chilies.
Season the mixture with ground cumin, dried oregano, chili powder, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 8 hours or until the pork is tender and easy to shred.

Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.
