For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a chopped onion to the spice mixture before rubbing it onto the roast. If you don't have taco seasoning on hand, you can make your own blend using chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Serve the shredded pork in warm tortillas with your favorite taco toppings, such as pico de gallo, salsa, cilantro, lime wedges, and a dollop of sour cream or Mexican crema.

01 Step
Recipe View Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Place the roast on a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil. In a small bowl, combine the drained green chilies, chili powder, oregano, taco seasoning, and minced garlic. Rub this mixture generously over the entire surface of the pork roast. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Tightly wrap the roast in the aluminum foil, ensuring it's completely sealed to trap the moisture and flavors. You may need a second sheet of foil to achieve a secure wrap. Place the wrapped roast on a roasting rack set inside a baking dish. Alternatively, place a baking sheet on the rack below to catch any potential drippings. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Roast in the preheated oven for 3 1/2 to 4 hours, or until the pork is incredibly tender and easily pulls apart with two forks. The internal temperature should reach at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). (Cook time: 210-240 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest, still wrapped in the foil, for at least 20 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in even more succulent meat. (Rest time: 20 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View Carefully unwrap the roast and transfer it to a large cutting board. Using two forks, shred the pork into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt to taste, adjusting as needed to enhance the flavors. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
