Crockpot Chipotle Pulled Pork/Chicken

The name of this recipes says it all!  Can you say yummy deliciousness?  The avocado on top of the sandwich, really pulled the sandwich together & balanced the heat.  One of the things I liked about this recipe is that the sauce is added at the end.  So, before I poured the sauce over the pork, I pulled out some pork for my girls, since they don't like spicy foods.  This is definitely going to make my top 10 recipes.  I am ready to try is with some chicken! 

Servings: 8-10

Ingredients

1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground mustard
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 boneless pork shoulder (3 lb), trimmed of fat
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
2 canned chipotle chiles, finely chopped(seeds removed)-I used a food processor for this.
1 tablespoon adobo sauce from canned chipotle chiles
8-10 burger buns, split
2 medium avocados, pitted, peeled and thinly sliced

Directions

Spray 4- to 5-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. In small bowl, mix brown sugar, salt, garlic powder, mustard and chili powder. Rub seasoning mixture over pork. Place pork in cooker. Sprinkle any remaining seasoning mixture that doesn't stick to pork over top of pork in cooker.
Cover; cook on Low heat setting 7 to 8 hours.
Remove pork from cooker; place on cutting board. Remove liquid from cooker; skim fat from liquid and reserve liquid. Cool pork slightly. With 2 forks, shred pork. Return to cooker. Stir tomato sauce, chipotle chiles and adobo sauce into shredded pork. If desired, stir in some of the reserved cooking liquid for desired moistness. 
Increase heat setting to High. Cover; cook 15 to 30 minutes longer or until hot. Spoon about 1/3 cup pork mixture into each bun. Place a few slices of avocado over pork in each bun. Pork mixture can be kept warm on Low heat setting up to 2 hours; stir occasionally.
