In a large heavy-bottomed pot, cook the onion, garlic, thyme, oregano, coriander, bay leaves, salt and pepper in the olive oil for 5 minutes over medium heat. Add the pork, tomatoes, chiles, lime juice, and 1 1/4 cups water. Cover and simmer until the meat is tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Transfer the meat to a plate and shred it using 2 forks while the sauce simmers. Add the meat back to the sauce and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes more. Pick out the bay leaves before serving.
