PREPARATION

1
Season the pork loin evenly with ground cumin, dried oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
2
Place the seasoned pork in a slow cooker or heavy pot with orange juice and lime juice, then braise on low until the meat is tender and easy to shred.
3
Shred the cooked pork with two forks and sear it in a hot non-stick skillet until the edges become golden and crispy.
4
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry pan or over an open flame until they are soft, pliable, and slightly charred.
5
Assemble the tacos by dividing the crispy pork between the tortillas and topping with avocado slices, red onion, cilantro, and a dollop of Greek yogurt.
