1 tbsp oil
1-2 tsp liquid smoke
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 (15oz each) green enchilada sauce

 Trim any fat off of roast. Cut the pork into 2-3 large pieces - season all sides.
Heat oil in large skillet - brown the pork. Transfer pork to slow cooker
Add the liquid smoke and 1/2 cup of water
Cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4.
While the pork is cooking prepare the rice. Melt butter in skillet add the rice. Stir letting rice cook for about 1-2 minutes. Add the broth, seasoning and lime juice and zest. Bring to a boil then cover, reduce heat and cook for 15-16 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit for 10 minutes.
