Calories
Ingredients
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp chipotle chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 pork loin ~2 pounds, cut into 3-inch chunks
- 1 small onion peeled and quartered
- 3 large cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup chicken broth or stock
- 1 Tbsp tomato paste
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 orange halved and juiced
- 1 lime halved and juiced
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 package corn tortillas warmed
- Garnishes as desired
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- In a Dutch oven, combine the spices (oregano, chili powder, cumin), pork, onion chicken broth/stock, tomato paste, honey, orange and lime juice. Give it a good stir. Over medium heat, bring mixture to a simmer.
- Transfer to the oven and cook, covered, until the pork is tender and easily shreds, about 1 hour and 45 minutes.
- Remove the meat from the Dutch oven to a cutting board. Set the Dutch oven over medium heat and reduce the liquid until it becomes slightly syrupy, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, shred the meat and return to Dutch oven once liquid is reduced. Allow pork to soak up remaining liquid. Season with salt & pepper as desired. Serve with corn tortillas and garnish as desired.
