MAKE THE CARNITAS: In a Dutch oven or large ovenproof pot, combine the orange juice, lime juice, cumin, paprika, coriander, garlic, and salt. Add the pork and stir to combine. Bake, covered, until very tender, about 2½ hours.

USING a slotted spoon, transfer the pork to a cutting board. Use two forks to shred the pork into small pieces and return it to the pot. Simmer uncovered, over medium-low heat, until almost all of the liquid is gone, about 20 minutes.
