Tender pork shoulder slow-cooked with aromatic spices and citrus, then pan-seared until crispy and served in warm corn tortillas with zesty pickled onions.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz pork shoulder
0.5 tsp sea salt
0.5 tsp black pepper
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried oregano
2 clove garlic
0.25 cup white onion
2 tbsp orange juice
1 small Corn tortilla corn tortillas
1 tbsp fresh cilantro
2 tbsp red onion
1 tsp lime juice
PREPARATION
Rub the pork shoulder evenly with sea salt, black pepper, ground cumin, and dried oregano.
Place the seasoned pork into a slow cooker along with the minced garlic, chopped white onion, and fresh orange juice.
Cover and cook on low heat for 8 hours or high heat for 4 hours until the meat is tender enough to shred easily with a fork.
Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it into bite-sized pieces, discarding any large pieces of fat.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the shredded pork in a single layer.
Press down with a spatula and sear for 3-5 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy, then toss and sear for another 2 minutes.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side until soft and pliable.
Divide the crispy pork between the tortillas and top with fresh cilantro, diced red onion, and a squeeze of lime juice.
