Pork Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Pork

    In a slow cooker, combine the pork shoulder, achiote paste, orange juice, garlic, cumin, salt, black pepper, and bay leaves. Cook on low for 8 hours or until the pork is tender and shreds easily.

  2. 2

    Shred the Pork

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded pork to the cooker and mix with the juices.

    Drizzle with salsa La Puerta and serve with jalapenos on the side for added spice.
