- •Garlic powder(3g)
- •Onion powder(3g)
- •1 tsp salt ($0.03)

Instructions
- 1Combine the chili powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and freshly cracked pepper in a small bowl and set aside.
- 2Cut the pork loin into 2–3 inch cubes and place in a large bowl.
- 3Sprinkle the spice mixture over the pork and stir until all pieces are evenly coated.
- 4Transfer the seasoned pork and any spices to a large heavy pot or Dutch oven, add just enough water to barely cover the meat, and bring to a boil over high heat (about 5 minutes).
- 5Reduce heat to low, cover with a lid, and simmer for 90–120 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is tender enough to shred easily with a fork and internal temperature reaches 190–205°F.

- 7Divide the shredded pork evenly into 6 airtight containers while hot, including the cooking liquid, and allow to cool to room temperature before sealing and refrigerating for up to 5 days or freezing for up to 3 months.
