Pastor Taco Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Marinade

   In a large bowl, combine orange juice, lime juice, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

2. 2

   Marinate the Pork

   Cut the pork shoulder into large chunks and add it to the marinade. Ensure all pieces are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

3. 3

   Cook the Pork

   Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the marinated pork in a roasting pan, cover with foil, and slow-cook for about 3 to 4 hours until tender. Alternatively, you can cook it in a slow cooker on low for 6-8 hours.

4. 4

   Shred the Pork

   Once the pork is tender, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes. Shred the pork using two forks.

5. 5

   Prepare the Tacos

   Warm the corn tortillas on a skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable. Fill each tortilla with shredded pork, diced pineapple, chopped cilantro, and finely chopped onion.

6. 6

   Serve

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