Braised Pork Recipe

Season the Pork

Rub the pork shoulder with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Ensure the pork is evenly coated.

Brown the Pork

In a large skillet or dutch oven, heat over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned pork and sear on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Add Liquid

Once the pork is browned, remove it from the skillet. Add apple cider vinegar and chicken broth to the skillet, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom.

Braise the Pork

Return the pork to the skillet. Cover and reduce heat to low. Let it braise for 3-4 hours, or until the pork is fork-tender.

Shred the Pork

Once the pork is done, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for 10 minutes. Shred the pork using two forks.

Prepare the Avocados

Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.

Mash the Avocados

Add lime juice and salt to taste. Mash the avocados with a fork until desired consistency is reached.
