   SHREDDED PORK
   1 1/2 pounds boneless pork roast
   1 cup chopped onions
   1 (16-ounce) can whole tomatoes, undrained, cut up
   2 to 3 jalapeno chiles, seeded, chopped
   0 ancho chili, cut into pieces
   1/2 teaspoon salt
   1/4 teaspoon pepper

   1 cup shredded lettuce
   4 ounces (1 cup) shredded cheddar cheese
   1/2 cup chopped seeded tomatoes
   1/2 cup sour cream
   1 avocado, peeled, chopped


1. In large saucepan, combine all shredded pork ingredients with enough water to cover pork. Cover; cook over medium-high heat until mixture comes to a boil, stirring occasionally.

3. In medium saucepan, combine shredded pork, all of the reserved cooked vegetables and 2 tablespoons of the reserved cooking liquid; mix well.* Cook over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring occasionally.

4. To assemble tacos, layer lettuce, cheese, warm shredded pork, tomato, sour cream and avocado into taco shells.
