Preparation of Pork
1. Season the Pork
In a large bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, and onion powder. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork shoulder.
2. Slow Cook the Pork
Place the seasoned pork shoulder in a slow cooker. Add lime juice, chicken broth, and bay leaves. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the pork is tender and easily shredded.

Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and let it rest for a few minutes. Use two forks to shred the pork into bite-sized pieces.
