Instructions
Put the pork shoulder in the crock pot. Cut the garlic into small pieces and put them in the slow cooker. I rubbed the garlic into the meat to make it taste even better, but you could just throw them in.
Add salt, cumin, chili powder, black pepper, oregano, cinnamon, and cayenne to the meat. Add spices to the pork and rub it in.
Put in salsa, beer, orange juice, lime juice, and lime juice. Put the lid on top and set the heat to low for 8 hours.
Use two forks to shred the meat right in the slow cooker, or take it out, shred it, and put it back in the sauce. It should be easy to break apart.
Warm up the grill. Put aluminum foil on the bottom of a baking sheet. Mix the meat shreds and sauce together, then spread them out on the baking sheet. Broil the pork for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the edges get brown.
Put it on tortillas and top with lime juice, fresh parsley, and avocado.
