Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork shoulder roast boneless
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 2 teaspoons oregano dried
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion coarsely chopped
- 4 garlic minced, cloves
- 1 jalapeño seeded and ribs removed, chopped
- 1 orange cut in half
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- corn tortillas
For serving
- cheddar cheese shredded
- salsa
- guacamole
- avocado slices
- sour cream
Instructions
- Rinse the pork shoulder and pat dry with a paper towel. Transfer to a large cutting board and generously season with salt and black pepper.
- In a small bowl, combine the oregano, cumin, chili powder, and olive oil. Whisk to form a paste.
- Using your hands, spread the 'wet rub' onto the roast and rub the spices into the meat.
- Transfer the pork to the dish of a slow cooker. Add the diced onion, garlic, and jalapeño. Squeeze the fresh orange juice over the roast before tossing the orange halves into the slow cooker.
- Cover and set to cook for 4 hours on high or 10 hours on low.
- Once the meat is tender and pulls apart easily, remove the roast onto the cutting board and shred the meat between 2 forks.
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches, place the shredded pork in an even layer in the skillet. Cook until the edges develop a brown crust.
- Prior to serving, warm the corn tortillas.
- To serve, place some of the pork onto a tortilla and top with cheese, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.
