Ingredients

  • Pork shoulder - 300 grams
  • Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
  • Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
  • Cumin - 1 teaspoon
  • Oregano - 1 teaspoon
  • Salt - 1 teaspoon
  • Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce - 2 peppers
  • Adobo sauce - 2 tablespoons
  • Lime juice - 1 tablespoon
  • Corn tortillas - 4 pieces
  • Fresh cilantro - 1/4 cup, chopped
  • Red onion - 1/4 cup, diced
  • Radishes - 4, sliced

Steps

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the pork shoulder and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated pork for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully cooked and slightly charred.
  3. While the pork is cooking, prepare the salsa by blending the chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, and lime juice in a blender until smooth.
  4. Once the pork is cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.
  5. Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or a skillet for about 1 minute on each side.
  6. Assemble the tacos by placing the sliced pork on each tortilla, then drizzle with chipotle salsa. Top with chopped cilantro, diced red onion, and sliced radishes.
