**Ok Gals-- this is the recipe from Epicurious that I originally used.
BUT It turns out GREAT in the slow cooker. I just saute the onions and add in the
cilantro and chilies. Then I dump it all in the slow cooker with the meat (the pork is good but I like boneless chicken breast as well). Then I just let it cook all day. Serve it as it states on the recipe. It is super moist and delicious. Give it a try!
