Recipe Method

1. Trim fat from roast. In a small bowl combine cumin, chili powder, salt and black pepper. Sprinkle evenly over roast; rub in with your fingers. If necessary, cut roast to fit into a 4 or 4 1/2-quart slow cooker. Place roast in cooker. Add onion, tomatoes, green chile peppers and jalapeno chile peppers.

2. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 10 to 12 hours or on high for 5 to 6. Transfer roast to a cutting board, reserving juices in slow cooker. Using 2 forks, gently separate meat into shreds. Return meat to cooker; heat through. Stir in cilantro.

3. To serve, sprinkle cheese over bottoms of rolls. Using a slotted spoon, place about 1/2 cup of meat on top of cheese on each bun. Add a lettuce leaf, replace tops.

Note: Because chile peppers contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes, avoid direct contact with them as much as possible. When working with chile peppers, wear plastic or rubber gloves. If your bare hands do touch the peppers, wash your hands and nails well with soap and warm water.
