For a richer flavor, sear the pork tenderloin in a hot skillet with a little olive oil before placing it in the slow cooker. This will add a beautiful crust and enhance the depth of flavor. Adjust the amount of ancho chile powder to your preference. If you like a spicier dish, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a minced jalapeño to the tomato mixture. If you don't have brown sugar, you can substitute with honey or maple syrup. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a saucepan or microwave.
