- Add in the rest of the ingredients and cook on low for 8 hours or until meat is cooked through and very tender.
- Remove the ribs and shred, throwing away all bones, then add meat back to slow cooker.
- Let cook on low for 6-8 hours.
Cilantro Lime Rice
- Bring lime/ lemon juice and water to a boil.
- Stir in rice, then leave covered on low for 20 minutes until rice is fully cooked.
