Step 1

<p>Season meat with Adobo.</p>

Step 2

<p>In a deep-sided frying pan or casserole, combine pork, onion, garlic, Jalapeño, bouillon. Add water to cover. Bring to boil, cover and simmer on low heat until meat is tender, about 1 hour.</p>

Step 3

<p>Preheat oven to 400ºF.</p>

Step 4

<p>Drain in colander, discarding vegetables and water.</p>

Step 5

<p>Heat oil in same pan on medium high. Add drained meat and brown, turning occasionally.</p>

Step 6

<p>When meat is browned, add orange juice and Sazón and bring to boil. Place in oven, uncovered, until juice reduces and glazes meat, about 30 minutes. Stir every 5-10 minutes so it doesn’t stick and juice evenly coats meat.</p>
