Texas"skinny" pulled pork with slaw

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 60 min. Cook: 240 min. YIELD: 3 enchiladas
When I moved to Texas when I was younger to pursue school, I left my beloved grandparent's, but one thing I learned was the culinary experience in texas. My Aunt and Uncle live there and took me to my first real texas barbecue. I created a healthy slow cooker texas style recipe that shares those beloved memories.
