Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mix together flour, chili powder, paprika, cumin, adobo seasoning, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl. Add pork; toss until coated.

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; cook pork in batches in hot butter until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer browned pork to a slow cooker.

Step 3

Make sauce: Cook and stir onion and garlic in the same skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, barbeque sauce, brown sugar, and hot sauce; simmer for 5 minutes. Pour sauce over pork.
