Combine all spices to make the fuego spice mix.
Can be stored up to 6 months in an airtight
container. Squeeze the orange into non-reactive
container. Combine with remaining ingredients for
the agua negra marinade, including the orange
peels. Stir with a whisk. Can be stored in the
refrigerator for 2 days. Trim away excess fat from
pork and cut into 3 inch cubes. Cover meat with 1
T of fuego spice mix. Press into meat to help it
stick. Add seasoned meat to 1 cup marinade, cover
tightly, and refrigerate overnight. When you are
ready to cook, heat shortening in a large
heavy skillet over high heat until fat is smoking;
add pork and brown completely on all sides- about
15 minutes. Add reserved marinade plus 1 cup of
Pepsi, and simmer for about 2 hours or until pork
is tender and dark brown. Add additional Pepsi as
needed while cooking to keep meat covered.
Remove meat and pull pork into strips. It should
almost fall apart.
