Servings: 4

Ingredients

Pork shoulder
1.5 pounds, diced
Garlic
4 cloves, minced
Cumin
1 teaspoon
Chili powder
1 tablespoon
Paprika
1 teaspoon
Black pepper
1/2 teaspoon
Salt
1 teaspoon
Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Corn tortillas
8, for serving
Onion
1, diced
Cilantro
1/2 cup, chopped
Lime
1, cut into wedges

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a spice mix.
  2. Add the diced pork shoulder to the bowl and toss well to ensure the meat is evenly coated with the spice mixture.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned pork.
  4. Cook the pork for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Ensure the meat reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  5. While the pork is cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet or on a griddle for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
  6. To assemble the tacos, place a generous spoonful of the cooked pork onto each tortilla.
  7. Top with chopped cilantro, diced onion, and a squeeze of lime juice for a burst of flavor.
  8. Serve the street style pork tacos hot, garnished with extra lime wedges on the side.
