Today’s Culinary Delight: Citrus-Spiced Pork Tacos

I’m excited to share one of my favorite recipes with you today: Citrus-Spiced Pork Tacos. This dish is perfect for a casual summer gathering or a cozy night in. The combination of zesty citrus flavors and warm spices creates a unique and satisfying taco experience that you won’t soon forget.

Ingredients:

  • 500g pork shoulder, cubed
  • 250ml orange juice
  • 50ml lime juice
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Handful of fresh cilantro

Kitchen Tools:

  • slow cooker
  • skillet
  • knife
  • cutting board

To start, place the cubed pork shoulder in the slow cooker. In a small bowl, mix together the orange juice, lime juice, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic, and diced onion. Pour this mixture over the pork in the slow cooker, ensuring each piece is coated evenly. Cook on low for 6-8 hours until the pork is tender and can be easily shredded with a fork.

Once the pork is done cooking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Add the shredded pork to the skillet and cook until it starts to crisp up around the edges.

While the pork is crisping up, warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet or directly over a gas flame until they are soft and pliable. To assemble the tacos, place a spoonful of the crispy pork in each tortilla. Top with sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
