For the Mojo Marinade:
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 3-4 pounds pork shoulder or butt roast
- Mojo marinade (from above)
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Sandwich buns or rolls
- Sliced Swiss cheese (optional)
- Sliced pickles (optional)
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, orange juice, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, dried oregano, chili powder, salt, and pepper to make the mojo marinade.
- Place the pork shoulder or butt roast in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the mojo marinade over the pork, making sure it is well coated. Marinate the pork in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Remove the marinated pork from the refrigerator and place it in a roasting pan or Dutch oven. Add sliced onions and minced garlic around the pork.
- Cover the roasting pan or Dutch oven tightly with foil and roast in the preheated oven for 4-5 hours, or until the pork is fork-tender and easily shreds.
- Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Use two forks to shred the pork into bite-sized pieces.
- To assemble the sandwiches, lightly toast the sandwich buns or rolls.
- Fill each bun or roll with a generous amount of shredded mojo pulled pork.
- If desired, top the pulled pork with sliced Swiss cheese and pickles for added flavor.
- Serve the Cuban-Inspired Mojo Pulled Pork Sandwiches hot, and enjoy the delicious fusion of Cuban and American flavors in every bite!
