Step

• 1

  Place the pork shoulder, fat-side up, on a cutting board. With a sharp knife, score the skin and fat in a cross-hatch pattern, making diagonal cuts about 1-1/2” apart and cutting down to the meat so the marinade can penetrate. Transfer the pork to a large resealable plastic bag set in a baking dish or bowl.

• 2

  In a blender, add the garlic, oregano, cilantro, cumin, lime juice, orange juice, chipotle and adobo sauce, 3 tablespoons salt and 1 tablespoon pepper. Drizzle in the olive oil and pulse until pureed.

  Pour the marinade all over the pork, being sure to get it into the deep cuts. Zip the bag closed and refrigerate overnight.

  When ready to cook, set the Traeger to 250℉ and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.
