In my blended family, we embrace several cultures that run deep in our heritage. My son is half Bolivian on his father’s side and their traditions are regularly celebrated at their family gatherings. My husband is Puerto Rican, therefore our daughter and my stepchildren all have Latin blood running through their veins. I feel a responsibility as the mother of a Latino family to embrace the flavors of their cultures and to regularly include it in our family meals. One way I love doing this is by combining classic American foods with authentic Latin flair from La Morena products. This Chipotle BBQ Pork Shoulder does exactly that, blending classic American barbecue with the flavor only chipotle can bring to the table.

To start, you’ll place your pork shoulder directly into a slow cooker.

Cover it with half a can of Coca Cola, an entire can of La Morena Chipotle Peppers, and a roughly chopped onion.

Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for four to five hours until the pork is fork tender.

Shred the pork using two forks and place it directly back into the juices from the slow cooker. Serve in corn tortillas topped with mozzarella cheese and cilantro.
