Ingredients

2 1/2 pounds boneless pork shoulder
1 1/2 cups orange juice
1/4 cup lime juice
2 tablespoons cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon coriander
2 cloves garlic crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 head gem or butter lettuce
optional desired toppings: salsa, sour cream, cilantro, cheese, avocado

Directions

Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2 -Cube the pork, removing any excess fat, and place in an oven-proof pot. Add the juices and spices and stir to coat well. Cook in the oven for 2 hours, checking at 1.5 hours to ensure there is enough liquid (if it has all evaporated, add a splash of orange juice).

Step 3 - After 2 hours, remove the pot from the oven and place the pork on a cutting board. Using two forks, shred the pork. Return the pork to the pot with its juices.

Step 4 -Increase the oven to broil. Return the pot with the pork to the oven and broil until the pork is slightly crispy on top, about 5 minutes.

Step 5 -Serve the shredded pork in lettuce wraps with desired toppings.
