Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    Cut the pork shoulder into small chunks and season them with salt, black pepper, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Ensure all pieces are evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Sauté Onion

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent and slightly caramelized.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Pork

    Add the seasoned pork to the skillet with the sautéed onions. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is browned and cooked through.

  2. 4

    Add Cilantro

    Once the pork is fully cooked, stir in the chopped cilantro and lime juice. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave. Place a generous amount of the spicy pork mixture onto each tortilla, and top with additional cilantro and diced onions if desired. Serve with lime wedges.
