Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
The Taylor boys call this "Coca Cola Meat" I can it Mexican Kalua Pig.

Sorry about the no measurements. If you get one big pork butt, it's like 1/2 a cup of lard, 2 cups orange juice or 4 large oranges. As for the coke and salt. The salt is to taste but the coke add just 1 cup at the beginning. When the liquid starts to evaporate, add a little to carmelize the meat.

Then serve with salsa, guacamole, pico de galla and tortillas. Bueno!!!
