Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Marinate the Pork

    In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, diced onion, cumin powder, chili powder, salt, black pepper, olive oil, and lime juice. Add the pork shoulder and coat it well with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork

    Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the marinated pork shoulder in a roasting pan and cover with foil. Roast for 4-5 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Shred the Pork

    Using two forks, shred the pork into bite-sized pieces.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    To serve, place a generous amount of the shredded pork on a warm tortilla. Top with sliced avocado, radishes, fresh cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
