Pork Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

1

Prepare the Pork

In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced onion, sauté until the onion is translucent.

2

Season and Cook

Add the pork shoulder to the pan, season with paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Sear the pork on all sides until browned.

3

Slow Cook

Reduce heat to low, cover the pan, and let the pork cook for about 3 hours, or until tender and easily shredded.

4

Shred the Pork

Once cooked, remove the pork from the pan and shred it using two forks.

5

Mix with Juices

Return the shredded pork to the pan, add lime juice and chopped cilantro, and mix well.

6

Assemble the Sandwich

Slice the Portuguese rolls in half, fill each with the shredded pork mixture, and top with sliced jalapeños.
