Rub the raw pork shoulder with ground cumin, chili powder, sea salt, black pepper, and minced garlic.
Place the seasoned pork in a slow cooker and pour the lime juice over it.
Cover and cook on low for 480 minutes until the meat is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks, removing any large pieces of fat.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the shredded pork for 5 minutes until the edges are golden and crispy.
Warm the corn tortilla in the skillet for 30 seconds per side until soft.
Assemble the taco by filling the tortilla with pork and topping with Greek yogurt, red onion, and cilantro.
