Carne Enchilada (spicy Pork) Tacos Recipe

Cooking the Pork

1. 1

   Prepare the Pork

   In a large bowl, season the pork shoulder with salt, black pepper, cumin, and oregano. Rub the spices into the meat thoroughly.

2. 2

   Sear the Pork

   In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned pork shoulder and sear on all sides until browned. Remove the pork from the pot and set aside.

3. 3

   Cook the Aromatics

   In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant.

4. 4

   Add Remaining Ingredients

   Stir in the chipotle peppers and chicken broth. Return the seared pork to the pot, bring to a simmer, then cover and reduce the heat to low.

5. 5

   Slow Cook the Pork

   Let the pork cook for about 3 hours, or until it is tender and easily shreds with a fork. Check occasionally and add more broth if needed.

6. 6

   Shred the 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.
