Steps:
- For the slow cooker carnitas: Combine the spices in a bowl and rub all over the pork shoulder.
- In your slow cooker, place onions and jalapeños. Place pork shoulder on top of the onions and jalapeños. Add the lime juice, orange juice and garlic cloves.
- Cover and cook low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.
- For the buns: Dissolve instant yeast, sugar and warm water in a small bowl. Let it proof/activate for 5 minutes or until bubbly or foamy.
- Sift together the dry ingredients (flour, salt and baking powder).
- Add the yeast mix to the dry ingredients, knead to form ball of dough.
- Place ball of dough into greased bowl, cover and proof dough for 1 hour or until double in size.
- Punch down dough, roll out and cut into golf ball sized pieces. Cover and rest the golf ball sized dough balls for 15 minutes.
- When slow cooker carnitas are done, pull apart with a fork and transfer to a separate bowl. Keep the juices in the slow cooker and use it for a dipping sauce later.
- When ready, prepare your steamer over high heat.
- Flatten each dough ball, add about a tablespoon of pulled carnitas to the center and pull the sides of the dough around the filling.
- Place seam side down on a piece of parchment paper. Steam for 15 minutes.
- Serve with the slow cooker juices as a dipping sauce. If the dipping sauce has too much fat, skim the fat.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Cut pork into 6 equal pieces. Add it to the slow cooker.
- Add salt, pepper, oregano, cumin, garlic, onion, bay leaves, lime juice and juice the orange. Add orange to the cooker as well. Mix together until the meat is well-coated.
- Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the meat pulls apart easily.
- Remove the pork and transfer to a foil-lined baking sheet. Shred the pork and spread across the baking sheet in a single layer.

- Serve immediately. Great as a filling in tacos, burritos, salads, or nachos!
