Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the pork shoulder.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Sear the pork shoulder on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side, until browned.
Place the sliced onions and minced garlic into the bottom of a slow cooker.
Transfer the seared pork shoulder to the slow cooker, placing it on top of the onions and garlic.
Pour the chicken broth and lime juice over the pork.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low heat for 8 hours or on high heat for 4-5 hours, until the pork is fork-tender.
Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix it with the cooking juices to keep it moist and flavorful. Let it sit on warm for 15-20 minutes.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave.
Assemble the tacos by adding the shredded pork to the tortillas and topping with cilantro, diced onion, sour cream, and salsa if desired.
