Garlic mayo is a creamy sauce blending mayonnaise with minced garlic, often used to enhance various dishes.

Ham and Cheese Sandwich

In a large bowl, mix together the salt, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Rub this spice mixture all over the pork shoulder to coat evenly.

Season the Pork

Place the seasoned pork shoulder in a slow cooker. Add the bay leaves, orange juice, lime juice, and water. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shredded.

Cook the Pork

Once cooked, carefully remove the pork shoulder from the slow cooker. Let it cool slightly, then shred the meat with two forks, discarding any large pieces of fat. Mix the shredded meat with the juices from the slow cooker.

Shred the Meat

In a dry skillet over medium heat, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable and slightly toasted.

Warm the Tortillas

In serving bowls, arrange chopped onion, chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, sour cream, shredded cheese, and sliced avocado.

Prepare the Toppings

Place the warmed tortillas on a plate. Allow guests to build their own tacos by adding a generous amount of carnitas, followed by their choice of toppings. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
