Tacos Michoacán Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork Carnitas

    In a slow cooker, combine the pork shoulder, orange juice, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook on low for 8 hours or until the pork is tender and easily shreds.

  2. 2

    Pickle the Red Onions

    In a small pot, bring the vinegar to a simmer. Add the sliced red onions and let them pickle for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Guacamole

    Mash the avocados in a bowl. Add lime juice, salt to taste, and mix until smooth.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Once the pork is cooked, shred it with two forks. Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet or microwave. Fill each tortilla with shredded pork, a scoop of guacamole, pickled onions, chopped cilantro, and a drizzle of salsa verde.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
