Rinse and dry the pork, cut into 1” to 2” chunks and add to the slow cooker.
Add salt, cumin and cayenne pepper to the slow cooker and toss to cover the meat evenly.
Juice the lime and orange, pour juice along with 1 cup of braising liquid over the seasoned meat. I used chicken stock.
Cook on high for 5-6 hours, meat should be fork tender when ready.
Transfer cooked meat with a slotted spoon to a glass baking dish. Shred with two forks.
Put under the broiler for 5 - 10 minutes until golden brown and crispy. With some broiler, you may need to move the dish around during the duration to get even broiling.
Serve with warm tortillas and salsa.
Notes
This recipe makes 4 servings under the assumption that each serving is ½ lb of meat. However, depending on your appetite, this may serve more or less people.
