Ingredients

  • 2.5 lb pork shoulder
  • 1 cup pineapple
  • 1 medium onion
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 2 tbsp chipotle in adobo sauce
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cups water
  • 12 pieces corn tortillas
  • 0.5 cup cilantro
  • 2 pieces lime

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced pork, diced pineapple, onion, minced garlic, chipotle paste, cumin, oregano, salt, black pepper, apple cider vinegar, and water. Mix until the pork is well coated.
  2. Transfer the mixture to a slow cooker or a large pot. If using a slow cooker, cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the pork is tender and easily shredded. If using a pot, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 3 hours, covered.
  3. Once the pork is cooked, shred it with two forks and mix it with the juices in the pot. Serve in warm corn tortillas topped with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime.
