Instructions
Season the pork with salt, pepper, cumin, and oregano.
Place the pork into a Dutch oven with the garlic, onion, orange juice, bay leaves, and water.
Cover the pot and cook the meat at 300°F for 2.5–3 hours, or until it is fork-tender. Remove the pork and shred it.
Spread the pork onto a baking sheet and spoon some of the cooking liquid/fat on top.
Broil the pork on low for 15–25 minutes, tossing once or twice, until the edges are crispy. Pile it onto a tortilla with your favorite toppings, and enjoy!
