Steps

  1. 1

    Grease the inside of your slow cooker with olive oil on a paper towel or butter

  2. 2

    Rub pork with cumin, chilli powder, salt, pepper, oregano

  3. 3

    Add pork to slow cooker, fat side down.

  4. 4

    Add orange juice, tequila, garlic, onion, cilantro and jalapeno

  5. 5

    Cover and cook on low for 10 hrs. Trust me about the time.

  6. 6

    After 10 hours, remove pork and shred with two forks in a large bowl until meat is stringy. Let cool to room temp. Reserve ALL cooking liquid in another bowl and cool to room temp. Place both items in fridge overnight.

  7. 7

    There will be a layer of fat from cooking liquid on top. Skim off, or spoon a hole in one corner to let liquid pass through. Strain liquid through a mash strainer to catch any solids.

  8. 8

    Use a large pot and bring liquid to a simmer. Add all pulled pork. Simmer until all liquid has been absorbed. Transfer meat to an oiled preheated frying pan.

  9. 9

    Fry pork until slightly crisped on one layer (dont stir meat) 5 to 7 min.

  10. 10

    Serve with warm tortillas, on a sandwich, over rice... Anything you feel like. Enjoy ;)
