SOUTHWESTERN PULLED PORK

The best way to describe this tender pork recipe is "yummy!" Bottled barbecue sauce, canned green chilies and a few other kitchen staples make preparation fast and easy. We like to wrap the seasoned pork in flour tortillas. -Jill Hartung Colorado Springs, Colorado

SOUTHWEST PULLED PORK

I made these sandwiches on a whim one Sunday when friends called to say they wanted to drop by in the afternoon. I was able to feed them and my neighbors a casual supper. If you have time, you can coat the roast with the rub and store it, covered, in the fridge several hours before cooking for even more flavor. -Deb LeBlanc, Phillipsburg, Kansas
