Ingredients
35.30 oz
Pork Shoulder
2 c
orange juice
0.5 c
lime juice
4 cloves
garlic
2 tsp
Cumin
1 tsp
Oregano
1 tsp
Salt
0.5 tsp
Pepper
2 tbsp
vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Cut the pork shoulder into 2-inch cubes.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the orange juice, lime juice, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the pork cubes and marinate for at least 1 hour.
Step 3
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork cubes and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 2-3 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
Step 5
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has evaporated and the pork is crispy.
