In a slow cooker, place the pork shoulder and add the orange juice, lime juice, garlic cloves, onion, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Make sure the pork is coated with all the spices and juices.

Cover the slow cooker 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, shred it using two forks, and return it to the slow cooker to mix with the juices.
