Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
2 tsp ground annatto (achiote seed)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ancho chile powder
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp dried oregano
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 (3 1/2-lb) bone-in pork shoulder ( boston butt), trimmed and cut in half crosswise
1 medium red onion, halved vertically
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 tsp salt
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
remaining ingredients
18 (6-inch) gluten-free corn tortillas
1 cup guacamole

Directions:

To prepare pulled pork, combine first 9 ingredients in a large heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag. Add pork to bag. Seal bag, turning to coat. Marinate in refrigerator overnight, turning occasionally.
Preheat oven to 325°.
Remove pork from marinade, reserving marinade. Place pork in a large Dutch oven; pour marinade over pork. Cover and bake at 325° for 4 hours or until pork is fork-tender.
To prepare pickled onions, while pork cooks, place red onion and next 4 ingredients (through jalapeño pepper) in a medium bowl, tossing to coat. Cover and marinate in refrigerator at least 2 hours.
Remove pork from pan, and place on a cutting board. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking liquid; discard remaining cooking liquid. Remove pork from bones; place in a large bowl. Shred pork with 2 forks. Stir in reserved cooking liquid.
Place 1/4 cup pork mixture on each tortilla. Top with about 1 tablespoon Guacamole and about 3 tablespoons pickled onions.
Tip: This pork is best when made ahead and refrigerated for a few days to blend the flavors. Then you can scrape off any excess fat before reheating it on the cooktop over low heat.
