Instructions

In a small bowl, prepare the spice rub by mixing paprika, oregano, salt, pepper, and cumin.
Generously rub the spice mixture all over the pork shoulder.
Place the pork shoulder in the slow cooker, then add diced onion, chopped garlic, and orange juice on top.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours until the pork shreds easily with two forks.
Once cooked, transfer the pork to a cutting board to shred and return it to the juices in the slow cooker to remain moist and flavorful.

Notes

Using fresh garlic will enhance the flavor of the dish.
Feel free to adjust the spices according to your taste preferences.
Serve the pulled pork on buns or as a main dish with sides.
