Instructions
- In the bowl of a slow cooker, add orange juice, remaining orange rinds, 1 cup water, milk, oil, onion, garlic, 2 teaspoons salt, oregano, and pork shoulder. Mix gently and cook covered for 8 hours on low.

In a large cast iron skillet over high heat, add 1 tablespoon of reserved pork fat and sear pork until edges are crispy. Pour remaining liquid from slow cooker into the skillet and scrape up crispy pork bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Warm tortillas in a dry non stick skillet one at a time. Keep warmed tortillas wrapped in a clean dishtowel or papertowels. Serve carnitas over warm tortillas and top with radishes, onion, cilantro, and Sriracha mayo.
