Pork Taco Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork

    Add the pork shoulder to the pot and sear on all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Season with cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Simmer

    Add enough water to cover the pork. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Let it simmer for 2-3 hours, until the pork is tender and easily shredded.

  4. 4

    Shred the Pork

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the pot and shred with two forks. Return the shredded pork to the pot and mix with the cooking liquid.

  5. 5

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate pan, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat until soft and pliable.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Tacos

    Fill each tortilla with shredded pork, top with chopped cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, and a spoonful of salsa. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
