Receta 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.

- Prepare meat way ahead:
- Preheat oven to 175 F
- Place meat and 1c water in dutch oven
- Cook for 8-11 hours
- Let cool 20 minutes, then pick off the meat and shred it
- Prepare Chile Verde sauce ahead:
- Preheat oven to 350
- Combine ingredients in a big mixing bowl and shake to coat the olive oil everywhere. Salt to taste
- Spread out ingredients on foil lined baking sheet
- Bake on 350 for approx 40 min
- Transfer to blender and puree for a minute
- Tortillas:
- Set aside a paper towel covered plate to park fried tortillas
- Add 1c oil to sauce pan and preheat to medium high
- 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.
- 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.
- Plate:
- I stack ingredients in the following order: meat, cheese, jalepenos, onions, tomato, chili sauce, lettuce, cilantro, then hot sauce
- Recommended pairing: beer.
