Method

Pork Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Pork

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, orange juice, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade. Add the pork shoulder, ensuring it's well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Roast the Pork

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the marinated pork shoulder on a roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven for about 4 to 5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 190°F (88°C) and the meat is tender and easily shredded.

  3. 3

    Rest and Shred

    Once roasted, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes. Shred the meat using two forks.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 4

    Prepare the Sandwich

    Slice the crusty sandwich rolls in half. On the bottom half of each roll, layer shredded pork, pickled jalapeños, fresh cilantro, slices of avocado, and lettuce.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Top with the other half of the roll and serve immediately, enjoying the delicious flavors of the roasted pork sandwich.
