1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Directions:
1. trim the visible fat from the pork.
2. place 1 can tomatoes on the bottom of the crockpot,follow w/ pork,garlic and onion,sprinkle the taco seasoning evenly on the top,then cover w/ cilantro.(note:this can be done the night before,just leave it in the fridge,the flavor will blend!).
