Tips:

  • Choose the right pork: Use a pork shoulder or pork butt roast for the best flavor and texture.
  • Marinate the pork overnight: This will help the pork absorb the flavors of the marinade and make it more tender.
  • Don't overcook the pork: Cook the pork until it is just cooked through, or it will become dry and tough.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the tacos will taste.
  • Make your own tortillas: Homemade tortillas are always better than store-bought tortillas.
  • Serve the tacos with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include guacamole, sour cream, salsa, and shredded cheese.
