Pork Tacos
Serves 6-8

Ingredients

3 pounds bone-in pork shoulder, rinsed and patted dry
2 large white onions, chopped, divided
1 orange, halved
4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 limes, halved
1 jalapeno pepper, chopped (seeds removed, optional)
1 bunch cilantro, roughly chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon oregano
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
oil, for cooking
corn tortillas,
cast iron pan,
Directions

Generously season pork shoulder with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, cumin and oregano and rub mixture all over pork.
Place pork in the bottom of slow cooker and arrange 1 chopped onion, garlic and jalapeno around it.
Squeeze the lime and orange halves over the pork and add the outer skins to the slow cooker.
Cover with lid and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on low for 4-5.
Once tender, let cool for 20 minutes, then use 2 forks to slowly shred the pork.
Heat 2-3 tablespoons oil in a large, cast iron skillet over high heat. Once hot, add shredded pork and cook in a single layer until crispy, 3-5 minutes.
Warm tortillas in a separate pan and, when ready, fill tortillas with crisp pork, remaining chopped onion and fresh cilantro.
