Mix in the cumin paprika chili powder coriander salt and pepper. Place pork in the mixture cover and refrigerate overnight turning two or three times.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Wrap the pork and marinade in aluminum foil or banana leaves that have been soaked in water for 30 minutes. Place into a casserole dish and cover.

Bake for about 2 hours until the meat falls off the bone. The slower you cook it the better it is. You could also bake it in a 200 degrees F (95 degrees C) oven for 4 or 5 hours or in a slow cooker without the foil or leaves.

While the pork is cooking make the sauce. Bring the red wine vinegar to a boil in a small saucepan. Add onions reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender. Pour sauce over pork and serve with white rice and corn tortillas. Each person can make tacos or fajitas with the pork the rice and the sauce.
