Instructions

1
Blend achiote paste, lime juice, orange juice, garlic, cumin, and black pepper into a smooth paste.
2
Score pork shoulder at 1/2 inch intervals. Rub marinade all over and into scores. Marinate for at least 2 hours (or overnight).
3
Preheat oven to 300°F. Wrap pork tightly in banana leaves or heavy foil. Place in a roasting pan.
4
Roast for 3 hours (or 2.5 hours for more tender) until a fork easily shreds the meat.
5
Remove from oven and let rest 10 minutes.
6
Unwrap and shred pork into bite-sized pieces. Serve with warm corn tortillas, pickled onion, and cilantro.
