Toppings

Method

Tostadas

  1. 1

    Prepare Tostadas

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the blue corn tortillas in the skillet one at a time, cooking for about 2 minutes on each side until they are crispy and golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.

Citrus Pulled Pork

  1. 2

    Cook the Pork

    In a slow cooker, combine the pork shoulder, orange juice, lime juice, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook on low for 8 hours or until the pork is tender and easily pulled apart. Shred the pork with two forks and mix it with the juices in the slow cooker.

Black Beans

  1. 3

    Prepare Black Beans

    In a saucepan over medium heat, add a drizzle of oil and sauté the diced onion until translucent. Add the minced garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another minute. Add the canned black beans (drained and rinsed) and heat through for about 5 minutes.

Salsas

  1. 4

    Make Salsa Roja

    In a bowl, combine diced tomatoes, diced onion, chopped cilantro, minced jalapeño, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

  2. 5

    Make Salsa Verde

    In a separate bowl, combine diced tomatoes, diced onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

Pico de Gallo

  1. 6

    Prepare Pico de Gallo

    In a bowl, combine diced tomatoes, diced onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and let sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Assemble Carnitas Divorciados

    On each crispy tostada, layer citrus pulled pork, black beans, a spoonful of salsa roja, a spoonful of salsa verde, and a generous scoop of pico de gallo. Top with crumbled queso fresco and serve immediately.
