Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Rub the spice mixture on both sides of the roast.
Heat the canola oil in a large pot over high heat, then sear both sides of the roast until nice and brown, about 2 minutes per side.
Pour the juice into the pot with the meat.
Cover and roast for about 4 hours, until falling apart.
Use 2 forks to shred the meat then return to the juices.
Roll out pizza dough into a thin rectangle.
Drizzle baking sheet with olive oil and transfer dough to the baking sheet.
Spread tomatillo salsa thinly all over dough.
Lay mozzarella slices next, then yellow onion and pepper.
Bake pizza for 12-15 minutes (*book does not say at what temperature-I did 500 degrees as thatâ??s what her other pizza recipes said)
Lay the warm shredded meat on top, making sure to get plenty of the juices on as well.
Sprinkle with sliced green onions and slice into pieces.
