1
Prepare the Pork
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season the pork shoulder with salt and pepper, then brown it on all sides in the pot for about 5 minutes.
2
Cook in Adobo Sauce
Once browned, pour the adobo sauce over the pork, cover, and let it simmer for 2-3 hours until the pork is tender and can be shredded easily.
3
Shred the Pork
Remove the pork from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded pork to the pot and mix it with the remaining sauce.
4
Warm the Tortillas
In a separate pan, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable.
5
Assemble the Tacos
Place a generous amount of the carne adovada on each tortilla, then top with cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and pico de gallo.
