Slow Cooker Cuban Sandwiches: Tender, Zesty, and Full of Flavor

Place the pork shoulder in your slow cooker.

2. Make the Marinade

In a mixing bowl, whisk together:

Orange juice

Lime juice

Minced garlic

Cumin

Oregano

Cayenne pepper

Salt

3. Combine and Cook

Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it’s fully coated. Cover and cook on low for 8–10 hours, until the pork is melt-in-your-mouth tender.

4. Shred and Assemble

Once cooked, shred the pork with a fork. Serve on crispy bread and top with melted cheese. Optional: add pickles or mustard for an extra kick.
