Ingredients
- 1 can tomato sauce (15-ounce)
- 1 cup Orchard Choice or Sun-Maid California Figs stemmed, dried
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 tablespoons ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon minced canned chipotle chile in adobo sauce
- 3 garlic cloves peeled
- 1 boneless pork butt roast trimmed, (3-pound)
- Salt and pepper
- ½ cup minced fresh cilantro
- 3 tablespoons lime juice 2 limes
- 12 corn tortillas warmed, (6-inch)
Instructions
- Combine tomato sauce, figs, chili powder, cumin, chipotle, and garlic in 5½- to 7-quart slow cooker. Slice pork crosswise into 4 equal pieces, trim excess fat, and season with salt and pepper. Nestle pork into slow cooker, cover, and cook until pork is tender, 9 to 10 hours on low or 6 to 7 hours on high.
- Transfer pork to bowl and let cool slightly. Using 2 forks, shred into bite-size pieces, discarding excess fat. Using large spoon, skim excess fat from surface of mole sauce.
- Process sauce in blender until smooth, about 1 minute. Stir in cilantro and lime juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. (Adjust sauce consistency with hot water as needed.) Stir 2 cups sauce into shredded pork. Serve with warm tortillas and remaining sauce.
