Main Ingredients

Marinade

Method

Preparing the Marinade

  1. 1

    Mixing the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine minced garlic, orange juice, lime juice, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinating the Pork

    Cut the pork shoulder into thin slices. Place the slices in the bowl with the marinade and ensure they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Cooking the Pork

  1. 3

    Grilling the Pork

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Grill the pork slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and slightly charred.

Assembling the Cachetada

  1. 4

    Preparing the Tortilla

    Warm the flour tortilla on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  2. 5

    Adding Cheese and Jocoque

    Once the tortilla is warm, layer the grilled pork slices on top. Then, add shredded cheese and a generous dollop of jocoque.

  3. 6

    Serving

    Fold the tortilla over the filling to create a cachetada. Serve immediately while warm.
