Method
Cook pork roast on high in crock pot, adding chilies, garlic powder, salt, pepper, onion powder and water. When meat starts to shred (about 3 hours) add honey, brown sugar and salsas. Continue cooking on low until it is completely shredded. To assemble salad use individual serving bowls. Place lettuce in bottom of bowl, add desired toppings (shredded pork, black beans, avocado, tomato, cheese, and/or tortilla chips) and top with dressing. To make dressing place sour cream, mayonnaise, cilantro, ranch mix, lime juice, hot sauce and garlic in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
Notes: Can omit hot sauce from dressing. Also can add or omit any toppings as desired.
