Ingredients:

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
For the Pulled Pork:

  • 3-4 pounds pork shoulder or butt roast
  • Mojo marinade (from above)
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
For the Sandwiches:

  • Sandwich buns or rolls
  • Sliced Swiss cheese (optional)
  • Sliced pickles (optional)
Instructions:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. To assemble the sandwiches, lightly toast the sandwich buns or rolls.
  8. Fill each bun or roll with a generous amount of shredded mojo pulled pork.
  9. If desired, top the pulled pork with sliced Swiss cheese and pickles for added flavor.
  10. Serve the Cuban-Inspired Mojo Pulled Pork Sandwiches hot, and enjoy the delicious fusion of Cuban and American flavors in every bite!
