Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the paprika, oregano, salt, pepper, and cumin to create a spice rub.
Generously coat the pork shoulder with the prepared spice mix.
Place the seasoned pork shoulder in the slow cooker and add the diced onion, chopped garlic, and orange juice on top.
Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 8 hours until the pork is tender and easily shredded.
Once cooked, transfer the pork to a cutting board, shred it with forks, and return it to the juices in the slow cooker for added flavor.

Notes

For enhanced flavor, let the pork shoulder marinate with the spice rub for a few hours or overnight before cooking.
Serve the pulled pork in sandwiches, tacos, or as a main dish for versatile meal options.
Leftover pulled pork can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
