Step 1

Add the annatto seeds (achiote), oregano, coriander, cumin, peppercorns and salt to a food processor or blender. Process to break everything apart. You can also use a mortar and pestle to grind them up.

Step 2

Add the garlic, orange juice, lime juice and vinegar. Process to form a thick paste.

Step 3

Bring the pork shoulder to room temperature. Slice it into 2 inch cubes and set into a bowl.

Step 4

Rub the sliced pork down thoroughly with the achiote paste. Pour in the remaining juices to cover the pork. Cover the bowl and refrigerate. Marinate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for more flavor penetration.

Step 5

Heat your oven to 300 degrees F (150 C). Add the marinated pork with marinade to a large baking dish or pot. Add 1/2 cup water and cover. Bake for 4 hours, or until the meat is fork tender and easily shreds with a fork.

Shred the cochinita pibil (cooked pork) with forks. Serve on warmed tortillas topped with pickled red onions, lime wedges, sliced peppers, spicy chili flakes or your own favorite toppings.
