Pork and Achiote Sauce
Method
Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Marinade
In a bowl, mix the achiote paste, minced garlic, ground cumin, orange juice, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Marinate the Pork
Place the pork shoulder in a large dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring the pork is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Prepare the Side Dishes
While the pork is roasting, prepare the fried chayote, black beans, organic kale, chipotle corn salsa, apple pico de gallo, avocado, and cotija cheese as accompaniments.
Serve
Once the pork is done, shred it and serve with the prepared sides, garnished with cotija cheese.
