Step 1
Start by tossing the pork, tomatoes, green chiles, yams, onion, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, black pepper, and hot pepper sauce into your slow cooker. Give everything a good stir to mix it all up. Cover the slow cooker and let it cook on Low for about 6 to 7 hours, until the pork is really tender and falling apart.

Step 2
When the meat is ready, stir in the frozen corn, pop the lid back on, and cook for another 10 to 15 minutes until the corn is warmed through. Before serving, sprinkle some shredded Cheddar cheese on top for a melty, tasty finish. Enjoy!
