A 'pulled pork' recipe I came up with, inspired by my local El Salvadorian restaurant. Great for those who aren't fans of sweet BBQ sauce-based versions (like me!). Try it with Recipe #17126.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 6h30m

Yield 12-24 small tacos

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 -2 lb pork loin roast
1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon beef bouillon powder
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried chili pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried chipotle powder
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 -2 cup water

Steps:

  • Wash your hands!
  • Trim excess fat from roast.
  • Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl and rub over the entire surface of the pork.
  • Place pork in a slow cooker. Add water until roast is approximately half submerged. Add vinegar and remaining dry ingredients to the water and stir.
  • Place slow cooker on low and leave for 6-8 hours, turning occasionally if you can.
  • Remove roast from slow cooker. At this stage it's easy to remove any membrane that may be attached to the surface. Shred the pork using two forks and transfer to a large frying pan.
  • Add about half the liquid to the pan and simmer gently until most of the liquid has reduced. You want the meat to be moist but not swimming.
  • Serve in pre-warmed corn tortillas. I add chopped tomato and spanish onion with just a few drops of hot sauce.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • To make the most flavorful pork carnitas, use a combination of pork shoulder and pork loin. The shoulder will provide rich flavor and moisture, while the loin will add lean meat and help to keep the tacos from being too greasy.
  • Be sure to cook the pork until it is very tender. This will ensure that it is easy to shred and that the tacos will be fall-apart tender.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of seasoning in the pork carnitas to your own taste. If you like spicy food, add more chili powder or cumin. If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of these spices.
  • Use fresh tortillas for the best results. If you don't have fresh tortillas on hand, you can warm up store-bought tortillas in a skillet or on a griddle.
  • Load up your tacos with your favorite toppings. Some popular choices include shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.

Conclusion:

Dr. Nick's Pork Soft Tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. The pork carnitas are tender and flavorful, and the tacos are loaded with fresh toppings. Whether you're serving them for a party or a weeknight dinner, these tacos are sure to be a hit.
