House Specials Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

1

Prepare the Pork

In a large pot, combine the pork shoulder, chopped onion, minced garlic, orange juice, lime juice, cumin, oregano, salt, black pepper, and bay leaves. Add enough water to cover the pork completely.

2

Cook the Pork

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 2 hours or until the pork is tender and easily shredded.

3

Shred the Pork

Once cooked, remove the pork from the pot and let it cool slightly. Shred the pork using two forks and discard any excess fat.

4

Serve

Serve the shredded pork in warm corn tortillas. Top with chopped cilantro, diced avocado, sour cream, and salsa to taste.
