• 1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
  
• 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  
• 1 ½ teaspoons chili powder

Instructions



1. Mix seasonings; rub over pork. In large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Brown pork on all sides. Transfer to a 5- or 6-quart slow cooker.
   
   
2. In same pan, cook and stir sliced onions over medium heat until lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Add chopped garlic; cook and stir 1 minute. Add water; bring to a boil, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. If desired, stir in liquid smoke. Add to pork.
   
   
3. Cook, covered, on low until meat is tender, 6 to 8 hours. Remove roast; discard onion mixture. Shred the pork with two forks; return to slow cooker and heat through. Serve on buns with barbecue sauce and, if desired, jalapeño slices.
