This was OK, but I wasn't particularly impressed (sorry!). For one, the meat was too salty. I thought about dec. the amt. of salt, but decided not to b/c the opinions on this matter were equally divided. On the contrary, my fiance thought the meat was bland and that it wasn't salty at all lol! For ease of prep. - and from an economic standpoint - this is deserving of 10 *'s, but since I am rating on taste alone, I can only award 3. I ended up purchasing an "about to exp." 3.5 lb. pork shoulder roast for under $5. I guess if you don't have the spices called for readily avail., this would be a $'s dish to prep., but since I had most of the ingredients on hand, it wasn't for me (yippie!). I ended up cutting my meat into lg. chunks (and I didn't remove the fat...) and would have seared it if I had the time (I was prep. this late last night). Oh, and I did not squeeze any of the juice from my oranges, but wish I had (at least 1) b/c the citrus flavor was nonexistent, IMHO. My only other ch. was to slow cook everything on low for 10 hrs. Note: Be sure to use kosher salt (there IS a diff. b/t iodized (table) & kosher salt). Also, even with 3.5 lb. of meat, there was barely enuf to save for BBQ sand. (darn!). Served in corn tortillas w/ all the fixins', Mexican rice & my fiance's AWESOME guac, this was a decent meal. Had it not been for the guac (which there is none left of, BTW), I would have been sorely disappointed - and HUNGRY!!! Thansks for sharing :)
