In a 7 quart slow cooker, add water, bouillon, coriander, oregano, cumin, onion and garlic powder, pepper and bay leaves; stir to combine. Place pork but in the liquid; cover; cook on Low for 10 hours.
Remove meat from the slow cooker. Shred meat with 2 forks, discarding all fat.
Discard all juice from the slow cooker. You could strain this stock and use it later for another recipe, discarding all settled fat on the top.
Without cleaning the slow cooker, place the pulled pork back inside; pour enchilada sauce over the top; stir to combine; cook on High for 1 hour.
Serve alone with sides, in tacos, or with tortilla chips.
Serve condiments like squeezes of lime juice, sour cream, avocado or green Tabasco sauce.
8-10 servings.
*If using a smaller pork butt, use 7 oz. enchilada sauce per pound of pork. Cooking time will probably decrease. A 6 lb. roast would cook for about 8 hours. Smaller pork butts probably need about 6-7 but not less than 6 hours. You might want to slightly decrease the spices, but it's not necessary.
