Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Verde Sauce

    In a blender, combine tomatillos, green bell pepper, jalapeño, onion, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork shoulder and sear on all sides until browned.

  3. 3

    Combine and Simmer

    Pour the verde sauce over the seared pork in the pot. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the pork is tender.

  4. 4

    Prepare Tortillas

    While the pork is cooking, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat until pliable.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once the pork is tender, shred it in the pot. Serve the pork with the verde sauce on warm tortillas.
