Ingredients

1/2 cup lime juice

1/4 cup water

1/4 cup grapefruit juice

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

2 bay leaves

1 3-pound boneless pork shoulder roast

1 cup sliced onion

Vegetable-flavored flour tortillas or flour tortillas

Pico de Gallo or bottled salsa

Lettuce or purchased avocado dip (optional)

Directions

For marinade, in a small bowl combine lime juice, water, grapefruit juice, garlic, oregano, salt, cumin, pepper, and bay leaves. Trim fat from meat. If necessary, cut roast to fit into slow cooker. With a large fork, pierce meat in several places. Place in a large plastic bag set in a deep bowl or a baking dish. Pour marinade over meat. Close bag. Chill in the refrigerator for 6 to 24 hours, turning occasionally.

In a 3-1/2- to 5-quart slow cooker place onion. Top with meat and marinade mixture.

Cover; cook on low-heat setting for 10 to 12 hours or on high-heat setting for 5 to 6 hours.

Transfer meat to a cutting board; cool slightly. Skim fat from juices; keep warm. Remove bay leaves; discard. Use 2 forks to gently separate the meat into shreds. Transfer shredded meat to a serving platter. With a slotted spoon, remove onions from juices. Transfer onions to same serving platter. Serve meat and onions in tortillas with small bowls of the hot juices and Pico de Gallo. If desired, pass lettuce and guacamole.

Pico de Gallo: In a medium bowl combine 2 peeled and finely chopped medium tomatoes, 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion, 2 tablespoons snipped fresh cilantro, 1 teaspoon lime juice, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and dash sugar. Mix well. Cover; chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Oh, you have no idea how delicious this is. We toasted up some bread, added a little mustard, super delicious pickles and swiss cheese..... heaven.

By the way.... since you only need 1/4 cup of grapefruit juice and I'm not a big g-fruit juice drinker, I'm usually able to find a small bottle of it with the other "grab-b-go" drinks in my grocery store. This way I can either drink the bit that's left or chuck it without feeling horrible.

good stuff!! I had to sub orange/mango juice for the grapefruit(no running to the store with a newborn). I added cilantro, rum and a half of a jalapeno. I also used chicken stock instead of water.
