1/2 cup water
1/2 onion, diced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper

combine in a crock pot and cook on low for four hours. shred and taste for seasoning. add salt and pepper if needed, and more paprika for color, if needed. keep warm.
