Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder and cut it into large chunks for easier cooking.

  2. 2

    Mix Spices

    In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Pork

    Rub the spice mixture all over the pork chunks. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic, chopped onion, red bell pepper, and minced jalapeño. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 5

    Brown the Pork

    Add the marinated pork chunks to the pot and brown them on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 6

    Add Liquid Ingredients

    Pour in the chicken broth and lime juice. Stir to combine and scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

  4. 7

    Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and let it cook for 2-3 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shredded.

  5. 8

    Shred Pork

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded pork to the pot and stir to combine with the sauce.

  6. 9

    Garnish and Serve

    Serve the spicy pork hot, garnished with fresh chopped cilantro.
