Method

Preparation of Pork

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine the garlic (minced), cumin, oregano, salt, black pepper, orange juice, lime juice, and olive oil. Mix well to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Pork

    Cut the pork shoulder into large chunks and add it to the marinade. Ensure the pork is well-coated and let it marinate for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.

Cooking the Pork

  1. 3

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

  2. 4

    Cook the Pork

    Place the marinated pork shoulder in a baking dish, cover it with aluminum foil, and bake for about 4 hours until the pork is tender and easily shreds.

  3. 5

    Shred the Pork

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes. Shred the pork using two forks.

Preparing the Toppings

  1. 6

    Chop the Vegetables

    While the pork is cooking, chop the fresh cilantro, radishes, and avocado.

  2. 7

    Prepare the Sour Cream

    Place the sour cream in a small bowl and set aside.

Serving

  1. 8

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a skillet over medium heat, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  2. 9

    Assemble the Dish

    Serve the shredded pork on the warm tortillas and top with fresh cilantro, radishes, avocado, and a dollop of sour cream.
