·In the morning, place the pork along with marinade into the slow cooker and pour in the chicken broth.

·Cook the pork for 8 hours on low, or until you can easily shred it with a fork.

For the Avocado Aioli and Assembly

·Mash the avocado and then whisk in the mayo, lime juice, garlic, salt and pepper. If the aioli needs to be thinner, add a little bit of water until you can drizzle it easily.
