Stuff it into corn tortillas and fry until crispy. Add some of your favorite taco toppings and dig in! Shred the pork with a pair of forks. Scoop as much of the tomatoes and green chilies from the pot as you can with a slotted spoon, and stir into the shredded pork. Add a ladle or two of the liquid from the pot, just enough to moisten the pork, and serve with the tortillas and accompaniments.
