Ingredients

2-3 lbs. pork shoulder
1 large orange
1 large lime
3/4T salt
1+T cumin
half a can of beef broth (the small can)
7+ cloves of garlic
Mix the salt and cumin and rub it all over the pork. Sear all the sides if you want. Throw the shoulder into a crock pot. Add all the juice from the orange and lime, the garlic cloves (whole or chopped, up to you), and the broth. Cook on low for 8-10 hours and then shred. Serve with corn tortillas, lime wedges, chopped white onion, and cilantro. If you want to be extra fancy, you can spread the pork on a baking pan and broil it. This should scale up pretty well, as long as you adjust the amount of liquid and the cooking time, although you'll still be limited by the size of your crock pot.
