This ridiculously easy and tasty dish is one of my consistent favorites, and is always a hit. And a bonus...it's very low in fat. Plus, it's pork. Can't go wrong with pork. :-)

2-1/2 lb pork tenderloin
1 lime (juice and zest)
1 orange (juice and zest)
3 cloves of garlic, roughly chopped
2 T of cumin
(Note: I added some cayenne and cinnamon to round off the second TBSP)
Salt and Pepper to taste
Lime quarters for each serving

Zest and then juice the citrus right in to the crock pot. Add chopped garlic and cumin and mix well. Sprinkle tenderloin with salt and pepper and cut it to fit, if necessary. Cook on low for 8-9 hours. Cut and remove strings from tenderloin, and shred the meat with two forks, mixing in whatever liquid there is. Serve with tortillas, beans, corn, guacamole, shredded cheese, cilantro, etc. and/or over rice.
