This cumin-scented pork loin cooks up easily in the slow cooker, allowing time for the meat to tenderize and the flavors to build. It's a great addition to tacos and burrito bowls.
In a small bowl, combine the salt, cumin, paprika, oregano, pepper, and cayenne. Spread this generously over the pork loin.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides in the hot oil. Remove the roast to the crock of a slow cooker..
Add the onion and garlic to the pan and saute until clear and starting to brown around the edges. Remove from heat.
Layer the lime slices (if using) over the pork roast and cover with the onion mixture.
Place the lid securely and turn the heat to HIGH for the first 30 minutes. Reduce the heat to LOW and cook 6 to 8 hours or until the pork is fall apart tender.
Remove the roast from the pot and slice or shred the meat to serve.
