Just made some last week. They came out great. I took a pork shoulder blade roast and slit it at 1 inch intervals and stuffed with garlic. Rubbed it down with Tony's and browned it on all sides in a dutch oven. Took it out, added a little veg. oil and sauteed a chopped onion. Deglazed with one cup of water and 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar. Added the roast back, then added a little more water to come up 1/3 side of roast and slow cooked for about 4 hours at 300, basting occasionally, until it fell apart. Shredded it with a fork.

Made a homemade adobo sauce - ancho and guajillo chiles, chipotle pepper, garlic, onions, cilantro, achiote paste - and tossed the pork to coat.

Served in soft corn tortillas with chopped onion, cilantro, tomatillo salsa, lime, queso fresco.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'm looking forward to it. This is going to be the test run, so it's good to hear different takes.
