Slow Cooker Pork Enchiladas

Have I told you yet how much I love Mexican food? Especially enchiladas. Probably 95% of the time that I go to a Mexican restaurant I order chicken enchiladas. ** 

But these pork enchiladas did not disappoint. I know on multiple accounts I've shared my love for cooking food in the crock pot. And coming home from church to this pork cooking was as good as anything. We all loved the taste of this pork, and I love the texture that it gets from cooking in the crock pot. Also, I have developed a deep love for cumin. The smell, the taste, its just perfect.

So, please enjoy this delicious recipe for me. I know you won't be dissapointed.

**My favorite enchiladas are from the restaurant Rosa's in Fallbrook, CA (where I'm from). Although I get enchiladas almost every time I eat at a Mexican restaurant I still haven't found anything to surpass my love for Rosa's chicken enchiladas. And although I loved the recipe I used here, they still weren't as good as Rosas. And I'm still on the quest to find the best enchilada sauce recipe. So if you have one that is THE BEST, please share it with me. As I am desperate out of lack of ability to travel to Rosa's anytime I'd like. Please and Thank You.
