INGREDIENTS
6 oz Pork Shoulder
1 Corn Tortilla
1/2 cup shredded Red Cabbage
1 Tbsp Lime Juice
4 Tbsp chopped Cilantro
1 Garlic clove
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Season the pork shoulder with salt and pepper.
Place the pork in an oven-safe dish and roast until tender and slightly crispy on the edges (approximately 1.5 to 2 hours), or use a slow cooker to achieve soft carnitas.
Once cooked, roughly shred the pork with two forks.
In a bowl, combine the shredded pork with minced garlic, lime juice, and a drizzle of olive oil. Adjust salt and pepper as needed.
In a separate bowl, toss the shredded red cabbage with chopped cilantro. Optionally, add a pinch of salt to enhance flavor.
Warm the corn tortilla in a skillet or microwave until pliable.
Assemble the taco by layering a portion of the pork carnitas onto the tortilla, topping it with the fresh cabbage slaw.
Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy pork carnitas taco with a burst of freshness from the cabbage slaw.
