Terrific Tacos!

Oh my gosh, we loved this meal!

1 1/2 lb boneless pork shoulder
1 navel orange
2 garlic cloves minced
1 T cider vinegar

1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp ground cumin
salt and pepper

1 small red onion
3 T lime juice
8 corn tortillas warmed

cliantro
avocado

finely grate the zest of the orange into slow cooker, then squeeze in the juice (1/2 cup), stir in garlic and vinegar.

season the pork with all of the seasonings. add to slow cooker and toss to coat.  cover and cook 7-8 hours on low, or 4-5 on high.

20 min before serving make the pickled onions.  thinly slice onion and toss with lime juice and 1/4 tsp each S&P.  let sit, tossing occasionally, until ready to eat.

using two forks, shred the meat and toss with the juices.

if you like (this made it better!), heat a large cast iron skillet with 1 T oil and add the shredded pork and cook til edges start to brown.

serve in the tortillas with the avocado and cilantro!
