Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Combine orange juice, onion, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, brown sugar, salt, oregano, cumin, lime zest, black pepper, and bay leaves in a heavy Dutch oven. Add pork shoulder; turn to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator, 4 hours to overnight.
  2. 2 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Remove Dutch oven from the refrigerator; cover tightly with aluminum foil.
  3. 3 Cook in the preheated oven until heated through, about 1 ½ hours. Flip pork carefully. Replace foil; cook 1 hour more. Remove foil. Continue cooking, uncovered, flipping once halfway through, until pork falls apart and marinade is reduced, 1 ½ to 2 hours more.
  4. 4 Remove pork from Dutch oven; rest for 20 minutes. Return pork to Dutch oven; shred using 2 forks. Stir shredded pork with reduced marinade. Discard bay leaves.
