- Rinse the pork shoulder and pat dry with paper towels. Cut off any excess fat, but keep the fat cap intact.

- Transfer the pork into the slow cooker, with the fat cap up. Add garlic, onion, and orange juice.
- Cover and cook on high for 6 hours or on low for 10 hours.
- Transfer pork to the cutting board. Pull the bones out. Use tongs to pull off the fat cap and any excess fat chunks.
- Take 2 forks and shred the meat. Don't completely shred into fine pieces, as you still want some small chunks.
- Char the meat
- Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large cast iron skillet
- Add pork to the skillet in one layer and leave it alone for 3 minutes so the meat will char properly.
- Flip meat with a spatula and char for another 2 minutes.
- Make the street tacos.
- Add the pork to the tortillas.
- Top with diced white onion and chopped cilantro.
- Pour over a little of the reserved liquid.
- Finish with a squeeze of fresh lime.
