Made these last night. Turned out great.

4lb pork butt, cube to 2" pieces
1 1/2 C chicken broth or stock
2 tbl spoons crushed dried oregano, Mexican if you can get it.
2 teaspoons salt
2 tsp cumin
1/2 lard or vegi oil, I used 1/4C crisco
1 orange halved.
3 bay leaves
1 onion sliced

Put it all in a crock pot on low for 8 hours. Take out the meat, shred into bite sized pieces and fry in a pan on one side until browned. I used some of the pan juices to fry the meat in and the. Put the pan, meat and all, in a 450 oven for about 15 minutes or until the pork has carmelized and browned.

Serve on a tortilla with pico.

You can also add extra onion at the end while the meat is frying and baking.

Yep. Sorry, 1/2 C lard. I think you could skip this if your pork is real fatty. Once the fat renders it would probably be enough to lube the meat.
