Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Use a knife to make several holes in the pork and stuff it with garlic cloves.

In a blender, puree the onion, bay leaf, oregano, cumin, vinegar, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the marinade over the meat and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 160°C.

Place the pork in a baking dish. Heat the lard and pour it over the meat. Cover and bake for 3 hours. Let the meat rest for 15 minutes. Slice thinly.

Saute the red onion and deglaze the pan with lime juice.

Assemble sandwiches by placing 4-5 slices of pork and 2-3 tablespoons of the onion mixture on the bread. Grill the sandwiches in a grill pan until crispy.
