Cochinita Pibil *

 2.5 pound pork shoulder or pork loin, trimmed of excessive fat and cut into 1 1/2 inch chunks

3/4 cup orange juice

1/4 cup lime juice

2 oz achiote paste 

3/4 tsp ground cumin

2 poblano peppers, seeded and diced

Salt and pepper

Combine achiote paste, OJ, lime juice and cumin in food processor and blend until combined.  Place pork and peppers in crock pot and drizzle with achiote marinade.  Toss to combine.  Cook on high for 5 hours or low for 8 hours, until pork is tender and shreds easily with a fork.  Shred pork and toss in marinade.  Taste and season with salt and pepper.  Add additional lime juice if desired.  Serve with desired toppings, such as sour cream, cheese, guacamole, onion, cilantro, etc.  Serve on tortillas or rice. 

Serves 4

 

I found achiote paste on Amazon, but it might be worth checking in a hispanic market.  Cochinita Pibil roughly translates to "baby pig cooked in ground oven" and is a yucatan style bbq pork.
