Braised Pork

Birria Dipping Broth

Method

Braised Pork

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    In a large pot, add the pork shoulder. Season it with the birria spice mix, salt, and add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and bay leaves.

  2. 2

    Braise the Pork

    Pour in the water, ensuring the pork is submerged. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and let it cook for about 3 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shreds.

  3. 3

    Shred the Pork

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the pot and let it cool slightly. Shred the pork using two forks and set aside. Reserve the braising liquid for dipping broth.

Flatbread Assembly

  1. 4

    Prepare the Flatbread

    On a baking sheet, spread out the flatbread. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 5

    Layer Ingredients

    Evenly distribute the shredded pork over the flatbread. Add crushed red potatoes, followed by white cheddar and parmesan cheese.

  3. 6

    Bake the Flatbread

    Place the flatbread in the oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  4. 7

    Add Fresh Toppings

    Once out of the oven, top the flatbread with pickled red onions, fresh rosemary, cilantro, and queso fresco.

Dipping Broth

  1. 8

    Prepare the Dipping Broth

    In a saucepan, heat the reserved braising liquid over medium heat until warm. Serve in small bowls for dipping.

  2. 9

    Serve with Lime

    Add lime wedges to the dipping broth for added flavor.
