Method
Preparation and Assembly
- 1
Braising the Pork Cheeks
In a large pot, heat a bit of oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until translucent. Add the pork cheeks, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper, and brown on all sides. Pour in the beef broth, cover, and reduce heat to low. Let simmer for 2-3 hours until the pork is tender and easily shredded.

Assembling the Tacos
Once the pork cheeks are done, shred the meat with two forks. Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet. To assemble, place a generous amount of shredded pork on a tortilla, top with pineapple pico, crumbled feta cheese, and a drizzle of chipotle aioli.
