THE BEST CARNITAS TACOS (PULLED PORK TACOS!)

Steps:

• Start by making the Mexican Pork Carnitas. This will take you about 8 hours to make in your slow cooker or in a pot.
• In a medium-sized bowl, mash the avocados with the lime juice, garlic, and salt.
• Put a scoop of carnitas in a tortilla, add a spoonful of the mashed avocados (guacamole), top with a sprinkle of minced red onions and any or all of the optional toppings.

PORK SOFT TACOS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat.
• Add the mushrooms and onion. Cook until tender, about 6 minutes, transfer to a bowl.
• Sprinkle the pork with salt and add to the skillet; sprinkle with cumin seeds.
• Cook over high heat, stirring until the pork is browned, about 3 minutes. Stir in the salsa and mushroom mixture. Cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.
• Transfer to a bowl and wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel.
• Spray the skillet with nonstick spray and set over medium heat.
• Cook tortillas, one at a time, just until golden on the bottom, about 1 ½ minutes. Place the tortillas, toasted side up on a work surface.
• Spread the pork mixture ( about 2/3 cup) over half of each tortilla and sprinkle with one third cheese.
• Fold the unfilled tortilla half over the filling.
• Spray the skillet with the nonstick spray and set over medium heat.
• Add the tacos to the skillet and cook, turning once with a large spatula, until golden, about 1 minute on each side.

DR NICK'S PORK SOFT TACOS

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!

PULLED PORK SOFT TACOS

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place two tortillas in the skillet and cook until warm and softened, about 30 seconds per side. Fill the tortillas with about 1 1/2 ounces of the pork, 1/4 cup of the lettuce, and 4 teaspoons of the salsa.
• Repeat with the remaining tortillas and serve. If you prefer to heat all of the tortillas at once, microwave them on high until warm and softened, 1 to 2 minutes.

DEE'S ROAST PORK FOR TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Place the roast on top of a large piece of aluminum foil. In a small bowl, stir together the green chiles, chili powder, oregano, taco seasoning and garlic. Rub onto the roast. Wrap foil around the roast so that it is completely covered, using additional aluminum foil if necessary. Place on top of a roasting rack in a baking dish, or place a cookie sheet on an oven rack below to catch any leaks.
• Roast the meat for 3 1/2 to 4 hours in the preheated oven, until falling apart. Cook to at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Remove from the oven, and shred into small pieces using two forks. Season with salt to taste.
