📝 Preparation Steps
1
Rinse and pat dry the pork roast. Rub the taco seasoning all over the pork roast. Place the roast in the slow-cooker with the fat cap facing up. Pour the orange juice over the roast.

Cover with the lid and cook on LOW for ⏱️ 10-11 hours or on HIGH for ⏱️ 6-7 hours, until the pork is tender and falling apart. (If the fat cap is still intact over the roast, pull the biggest pieces of it off and discard.)
3
Pull the roast apart with tongs or with two forks. Shred it gently, leaving plenty of bite-size pieces. Toss the pork in any juices left in the bottom of the pot. Serve with a lime to squeeze over the meat, if desired.

Spread about 2 cups of the cooked pork across a nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Press it flat and let it cook about ⏱️ 2 minutes, until browned and most juices have been absorbed. Stir or flip it over and sear the other side, leaving plenty of juicy bites along with the crispy edges.
