Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Pork shoulder
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves
• 0.5 cups Orange juice
• 0.25 cups Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoons Cumin
• 1 teaspoons Oregano
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 12 pieces Mini slider buns
• 1 cups Pickled red onions
• 0.5 cups Fresh cilantro
• 0.5 cups Mayonnaise (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork shoulder dry with paper towels and cut it into 3 or 4 large chunks for easier cooking.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the garlic (minced), orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 4

Place the pork chunks in a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot and pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring all pieces are coated.

Step 5

Cover the pot with a lid and cook in the preheated oven for about 3 hours, or until the pork is fork-tender and easily shredded.

Step 6

Once the pork is done, remove it from the pot and shred it using two forks. Set aside and keep warm.

Step 7

Toast the mini slider buns lightly in a pan or under a broiler for a few minutes, until golden brown.

Step 8

To assemble the bocaditos, spread a small amount of mayonnaise (if using) on the bottom half of each bun.

Step 9

Add a generous portion of shredded pork, a few pickled red onion slices, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro leaves.

Step 10

Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.

Step 11

Enjoy these flavorful pork bocaditos as a party appetizer, snack, or meal!
