Method
Preparation
Prepare the Pork
In a large bowl, combine orange juice, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, and bay leaves. Add the pork shoulder and marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
Make the Slaw
In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, minced jalapeño, grated carrot, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
Prepare the Sour Cream
In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Stir until well combined.
Assemble Tacos
Once the pork is cooked, shred it with two forks. Serve the shredded pork in tortillas topped with jalapeño slaw and cilantro-lime sour cream. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
