Looking for the name

I make this pork roast... or roast pork.  You cook it in a red chile sauce and then shred the pork to serve with tortillas in whatever fashion you wish.  I keep forgetting what the dish is called though.  Anyone know?

Well around here that is called most often "carnitas" or carnitas "rojo" ( red ) if it's green then we say "verde" and rarely chili Colorado... any of that sound close to yours?

[Zazzy]

That might be it.  But it doesn't sound quite right.  Carne Asada sounds right but when I looked it up that's just grilled so that can't be it.

[Huh...What?]

Well, shredded pork served with a pepper sauce is called Cochinita Pibil, but that doesn't sound much like Carne anything.

Carne Guisada is kind of a meat stew served with tortillas.  I've always used beef though.

Thank you all.    I finally managed to connect with my friend again and it's called Carne Adovada.  I searched and there are a bunch of recipes for it - the major difference seeming to be the making of the chile sauce (as opposed to the opening of the can).
