Prepare the Pork
- In a large bowl, combine the cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork shoulder pieces.
Cook in Crockpot
- Place the seasoned pork in the crockpot. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, orange juice, and lime juice. Stir to combine.
- Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the pork is tender and easily shredded.
Shred and Serve
- Once cooked, remove the pork from the crockpot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded pork to the crockpot and mix it with the juices.
- Serve the carnitas in tacos, burritos, or over rice, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.

Notes
For extra crispy carnitas, broil the shredded pork in the oven for a few minutes after cooking.
