Ingredients:
- Juice of 8 lemons
- Juice of 8 limes
- 12 garlic cloves
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro sprigs
- 2 cups kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons ground cumin
- 1 (8-pound) pork shoulder butt
- 2 ounces freshly ground black pepper
- 12 whole wheat tortillas
- Yellow mustard, according to taste
- 1/2 pound sliced ham
- 1 pound sliced Swiss cheese
- Pickles, to taste

Slather it generously over the pork shoulder and nestle it into a large roasting pan. Roast for about 4 hours until tender and flavorful. Let it rest for 10 minutes, then shred effortlessly with two forks.
