Taco Filling and Toppings

Method

Preparation and Assembly

  1. 1

    Cook the Pork

    In a slow cooker, combine the pork shoulder, orange juice, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook on low for 8 hours or until the pork is tender and can be easily shredded.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Salsa

    While the pork is cooking, dice the avocado and cucumber. In a bowl, mix the avocado, cucumber, chopped cilantro, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Shred the Pork

    Once the pork is cooked, shred it using two forks and mix it with the juices in the slow cooker.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave. Fill each tortilla with a generous portion of the shredded pork, top with cucumber avocado salsa, and add pickled red onion.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Garnish with additional cilantro if desired and serve immediately.
