Directions

1 Spray 4- to 5-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Place onions in slow cooker. In small bowl, mix dried minced garlic, cumin, salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon of the margarita mix to form paste. Pat mixture on top and sides of roast (if roast comes tied or in netting, remove before rubbing with spice mixture). Place roast on onions. Pour remaining margarita mix around roast.
2 Cover; cook on Low heat setting 8 to 10 hours or until meat is tender.
3 Remove pork; when cool enough to handle, shred with 2 forks. Return meat to slow cooker; stir in 1/4 cup cilantro.
4 In small bowl, mix Cilantro-Lime Mayonnaise ingredients. Slice each loaf of ciabatta bread in half horizontally. With slotted spoon, spoon pork mixture onto bottom halves of bread. Top each with 3 to 4 lettuce leaves. Spread about 1/2 cup Cilantro-Lime Mayonnaise on top halves of bread; place over lettuce. Cut into slices. Discard liquid in slow cooker.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Margarita mix is a lime-flavored nonalcoholic frozen drink mix. Look for it in the freezer section near the other frozen juices.

Ciabatta is a long, oblong-shaped bread with a soft interior and crisp crust. If desired, you can use loaves of Italian bread instead.

The pulled port cooked in Margarita Mix was awesome! It was a big hit. My nephew who never likes anything even loved it. It is sweet with a taste of lime. I served it on Ciabatta bread but the bread was to thick for my taste so I also had kiser rolls and I liked it much better on the kiser. I also used pork loin since I had that in my freezer and it was great and had a lot less fat content.
