Pork Torta Recipe

Pork Torta Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Pork

   In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.

2. 2

   Cook the Pork

   Add the pork shoulder to the pot, browning it on all sides. This should take about 10 minutes. Then, add diced poblano peppers, diced tomatoes, oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

3. 3

   Simmer

   Pour in enough water to cover the pork, bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 2 hours or until the pork is tender and easily shredded.

4. 4

   Shred the Pork

   Remove the pork from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded pork to the pot and stir to combine it with the sauce. Let it simmer for an additional 10 minutes.

5. 5

   Prepare the Tortillas

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

6. 6

   Assemble the Torta

   To assemble, place a generous amount of the shredded pork mixture onto each tortilla. Top with avocado slices, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. Fold the tortillas in half.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve immediately while warm, with extra lime wedges on the side.
