1. In a blender, add the salsa, brown sugar, green chilies, and spices. Blend until smooth.
2. In a slow cooker, add the pork. Pour the salsa mixture onto the pork and set to high for 5 hours or low for 10 hours. You will know when the pork is done when it shreds easily with two forks. (Some slow cookers run really warm and some cooler, It's best to give yourself ample time to make sure the roast is cooked thoroughly. You can always keep it warm if needed)
3. When the pork is done cooking, lift it out of the slow cooker with a couple of forks. Scrap off any large chunks of fat and discard. Shred the meat with the forks and add back into the slow cooker with all the juices. Let the shredded pork absorb all the juices. You can take some of the juice out if there is too much but you want a little standing juice to keep the meat moist.
4. Use in taco bowls, tacos, burritoes, quesadillas, or enchaladas.
