Taquitos

Method

Taquitos

  1. 1

    Cook the Pork

    In a large pot, place the pork shoulder and add enough water to cover it. Season with salt, black pepper, cumin, and garlic powder. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for about 2 hours until the pork is tender.

  2. 2

    Shred the Pork

    Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the pot and let it cool slightly. Shred the pork using two forks.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Tortillas

    In a frying pan, heat about 1/4 cup of cooking oil over medium heat. Warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.

  4. 4

    Fill the Taquitos

    Place a few tablespoons of shredded pork onto each tortilla, then roll them tightly. Secure with a toothpick if needed.

  5. 5

    Fry the Taquitos

    In a large frying pan, heat the remaining cooking oil over medium-high heat. Fry the taquitos in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Guacamole

  1. 6

    Prepare the Avocados

    Slice the avocados in half and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.

  2. 7

    Mash the Avocados

    Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the avocados to your desired consistency.

  3. 8

    Mix in Ingredients

    Add lime juice, salt, diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, and diced onion to the mashed avocados. Mix well until combined.

  4. 9

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the guacamole and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice to taste.
