Instructions

  1. Step 1: Place 2 lbs pork shoulder chunks into a slow cooker. Pour 1 cup fresh orange juice and 1/4 cup soy sauce over pork. Add 3 cloves minced garlic, 1 tsp ground cumin, and 1 tsp chili powder, mixing to coat.
  2. Step 2: Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, until pork is tender and pulls apart easily with a fork.
  3. Step 3: While pork cooks, combine 1 cup diced fresh mango, 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro, and 1 tbsp fresh lime juice in a bowl. Season mango salsa with salt and black pepper to taste and refrigerate.
  4. Step 4: When pork is done, shred it using two forks and mix with cooking juices for moisture.
  5. Step 5: Warm 8 small corn tortillas on a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side until pliable.
  6. Step 6: Assemble tacos by layering shredded pork on tortillas and topping with 2 tbsp mango salsa each. Serve immediately.
