1 tsp ground cumin
Salt to taste
8 corn taco shells

Preheat oven to 300º. Trim excess fat from roast.
Place a 10-inch square of foil on a baking sheet. Mix together juice concentrate, garlic, chipotle peppers, oregano, cumin, and salt to taste.
Put roast on foil. Cover roast with orange juice mixture. Fold foil up to make a packet that fits loosely. Place on a pie pan or sheet pan.
Bake beef for 4 hours, until it shreds when pressed with a fork. Let cool slightly, then shred.
