Tacos

This recipe includes a chile verde sauce, slow cooked pork, and fried corn tortillas. I typically prepare this one on the weekend so I'm ready for tacos the rest of the week.

Makes 6 small tacos (one serving for me)

  1. Prepare meat way ahead:
  2. Preheat oven to 175 F
  3. Place meat and 1c water in dutch oven
  4. Cook for 8-11 hours
  5. Let cool 20 minutes, then pick off the meat and shred it
  6. Prepare Chile Verde sauce ahead:
  7. Preheat oven to 350
  8. Combine ingredients in a big mixing bowl and shake to coat the olive oil everywhere. Salt to taste
  9. Spread out ingredients on foil lined baking sheet
  10. Bake on 350 for approx 40 min
  11. Transfer to blender and puree for a minute
  12. Tortillas:
  13. Set aside a paper towel covered plate to park fried tortillas
  14. Add 1c oil to sauce pan and preheat to medium high
  15. Using tongs and a spatula carefully fry the tortillas. I mostly use the spatula to prevent tearing. This takes a little practice, but basically, I fry one side for 5 seconds, use my spatula to crease and bend the tortilla in half, then use the tongs + spatula to carefully flip, then fry another 10 seconds or so.
  16. When re-using the meat from the refrigerator, I put the cold chunks of pork in a covered sauce pan on low temperature. After 5 minutes it's as good as new, and you can mix in your spices to taste.
  17. Plate:
  18. I stack ingredients in the following order: meat, cheese, jalepenos, onions, tomato, chili sauce, lettuce, cilantro, then hot sauce
  19. Recommended pairing: beer.
