Spicy Dr. Pepper Pulled Pork

Start with Dr. Pepper, a pork shoulder, an onion, a can of chipolte peppers, and a couple of tablespoons of brown sugar.
Quarter the onion
Place pork and onion in a baker.  I used a 9x13 but anything is fine (a dutch oven would be great).
Sprinkle with black pepper
Put the brown sugar on top.
 Put the can of chipolte peppers on top;.
add two cans (24 oz) of Dr. Pepper.
Cover and bake for approx. 5 hours on 300 degrees.
every hour turn the meat over
It should fall apart when it is done.
Remove meat from the pan.  I couldn't move it without it falling apart.

 Shred the meat.
I removed the juice and chilled it and the meat separately so the fat would harden and I could remove it.  But you can skim if off warm and serve it the same day.
Let meat set in fridge if you are keeping for the next day or keep it warm in the oven if you are serving that day.

After you remove the fat add the juice back to the meat and warm in the oven.
Get some tortillas, salsa, shredded cheese, cabbage, and sliced lime.
Chop  the cabbage
Slice the lime
Take a tortilla and some pork (Be sure to let the juice drain off)
Add some cabbage
Add some salsa
Add some cheese
Add the lime juice and enjoy
