📝 Preparation Steps
1
Rinse and pat dry the pork shoulder.
2
To begin, just throw the dried oregano, cumin, chili powder, salt, black pepper, garlic, olive oil, white wine vinegar and brown sugar into a food processor or blender. (I happen to love brown sugar in my cooking, but you can decrease or omit it if you like.)
3
Cut one onion into quarters and put it in the food processor with the spices. Blend mixture until totally combined and then pour it over the pork shoulder.
4
Now rub it into every nook and cranny of the meat, tucking it under folds an in crevices. Let no stone go unturned.
5
Then place the pork into a roasting pan or Dutch oven and add a couple of cups of water. Cover tightly and roast pork at 300º for several hours, turning once every hour.
6
When it is fork tender, crank up the heat, remove the lid, and roast it, skin side up for another 15 to ⏱️ 20 minutes to get the skin crispy. When it’s done, let it rest for ⏱️ 15 minutes before shredding.
7
Shred the pork shoulder (two forks work well). When it’s all shredded be sure to pour the juices all over the meat.
8
Serve with warm tortillas, lime wedges, sour cream, pico de gallo, guacamole, tomatillo salsa … whatever makes your skirt fly up!
