Ingredients

• 3 Pounds (lb) beef rump roast
• 3 Pounds (lb) pork loin roast
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) kosher salt
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) black pepper, ground
• 2 14.5 Ounces (oz) green enchilada sauce, packaged
• 2 4 Ounces (oz) diced green chiles, packaged

Steps

1. Season the beef rump roast and pork loin roast generously with kosher salt and ground black pepper on all sides.
2. Place the seasoned meats into a slow cooker. Cover and cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily shredded.
3. Once cooked, carefully drain the juices from the slow cooker and shred the meat into fine strands using two forks.
4. Return the shredded meat to the slow cooker. Stir in the green enchilada sauce and diced green chiles, ensuring the meat is well-coated.
5. Continue to cook on Low for an additional 4 to 8 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the meat to absorb the sauce.
