I have a pork roast but i don't want to just make it like a regular roast. I need some ideas beside just putting it in the oven with veg. Please help me.

Slow Cooker Barbecued Pulled-Pork Fajitas - 
Slow Cooker Barbecued Pulled-Pork Fajitas
Here is the recipe for my favorite thing to do with a pork roast. The recipe calls for pork loin roast, but I have used a regular roast and it is just as good as when I used a loin roast. Slow Cooker Barbecued Pulled-Pork Fajitas 1 pork boneless loin roast, (2 1/2 pounds), trimmed on fat 1 medium onion, thinly sliced 2 cups barbecue sauce 3/4 cup Old El Paso® Thick 'n Chunky salsa 1 tablespoon chili powder 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 bag (1 pound) frozen stir-fry bell peppers and onions 1/2 teaspoon salt 18 flour tortillas (8 to 10 inches in diameter) Shredded cheese, if desired Guacamole, if desired Sour cream, if desired 1. Place pork in 3- to 4-quart slow cooker. Place onion on top. Mix barbecue sauce, salsa, chili powder and cumin in small bowl; pour over pork and onion. 2. Cover and cook on Low heat setting 8 to 10 hours. 3. Remove pork from cooker; place on cutting board. Shred pork, using 2 forks. Return pork to cooker and mix well. Stir in stir-fry vegetables and salt. Increase heat setting to High. Cover and cook 30 minutes or until mixture is hot and vegetables are tender. 4. Using slotted spoon to remove pork mixture from cooker, fill each tortilla with 1/2 cup pork mixture. Fold one end of tortilla up about 1 inch over filling; fold right and left sides over folded end, overlapping. Fold remaining end down. Serve with cheese, guacamole and sour cream.

You didn't say how big the roast is so, I can't really give you amounts but here is a recipe. Season it with cumin, garlic salt, pepper, chili powder and onion powder. Wrap tightly with tin foil and place in a baking pan. Bake at 375 until meat thermometor reaches 200 degrees. After tin foil has cooled enough to handle remove it and let the drippings fall around the roast and into the pan. The pork should be tender enough to pull apart using a fork in each hand. Pull the pork and toss with the drippings. Add italian dressing or mojo criollo to taste while tossing again. Return to oven to heat and serve with warm corn tortillias or toast.
