PREPARATION

  • 1

    Trim any large pieces of excess fat from the pork shoulder and cut the meat into 2-inch chunks.

  • 2

    Place the pork chunks into a slow cooker and add the orange juice, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.

  • 3

    Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for 4 hours, until the meat is completely tender and pulls apart easily with a fork.

  • 4

    Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks, discarding any remaining large pieces of fat.

  • 5

    To achieve a traditional crispy texture, spread the shredded pork on a baking sheet and broil for 3 to 5 minutes until the edges are golden brown.

  • 6

    Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until pliable.

  • 7

    Assemble the tacos by dividing the shredded pork between the tortillas and garnishing with diced white onion and fresh cilantro.
