Step 2: Add the pork shoulder, orange juice, cumin, oregano, cinnamon, and chipotle. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook on low heat for about 25 minutes until the pork is tender and easily shredded.
Step 3: Once cooked, shred the pork with two forks and let it caramelize in the pot for an additional 5 minutes. Serve in tortillas, topped with the spiced fruit compote and fresh cilantro.
