Midtown Tacos Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Pork Carnitas

   In a slow cooker, combine the pork shoulder, salt, pepper, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and olive oil. Cook on low for 8 hours or until the pork is tender and can be shredded easily.

2. 2

   Shred the Pork

   Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and stir in a bit of the cooking liquid to keep it moist.

3. 3

   Prepare the Toppings

   While the pork is cooking, dice the tomatoes and slice the jalapeños. Mash the avocado and mix it with half of the salsa verde to create the avocado salsa.

4. 4

   Warm the Tortillas

   In a dry skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.

5. 5

   Assemble the Tacos

   To assemble, place a generous amount of the pork carnitas on each tortilla. Top with diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, avocado salsa, and crumbled queso fresco.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the tacos with a side of tortilla chips and the remaining salsa.
