Title: Pork Burrito Meat
Ingredients:
– 2 pounds pork shoulder, trimmed of excess fat and cut into 1-inch cubes
– 1 large onion, finely chopped
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
– 1 cup chicken broth
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the cubed pork shoulder with the ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the pork is evenly coated with the spices.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned pork and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot with the pork. Sauté until the onions are soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Pour in the chicken broth and stir to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring the liquid to a simmer.
5. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let the pork simmer gently for 1.5-2 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily shreds with a fork. Check occasionally and add more broth if needed to keep the meat moist.
6. Once the pork is fully cooked, use two forks to shred the meat in the pot. Continue simmering for an additional 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
7. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or spices if desired. Remove the pot from the heat and let the meat rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the flavorful Pork Burrito Meat in warm tortillas with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, sliced avocado, salsa, sour cream, and fresh cilantro.
