For the marinade: blend the orange juice, the canned chipotle pepper, the guajillo pepper, the tomatoes, the garlic, the onion, the brown sugar, the oregano, the salt, and the pepper at high speed. Set aside. Heat the oil in a skillet. Season the pork leg with salt and pepper and sear on each side for 5 minutes or until browned. Remove from heat, place on a greased baking tray. Use a knife to make holes in the meat, as this will help it absorb more flavor. Then pour the marinade over the pork leg, covering it completely. Let it marinate for 30 minutes.

Remember to set aside some marinade to baste the leg. Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 190 °C for 40 minutes. After 20 minutes, baste the leg with the remaining marinade.

The meat will be ready when a fork easily pierces it. Slice the marinated leg and place on a serving platter, decorating with orange slices.
