Ingredients:

Serving

2 lb boneless pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
goya adobo with pepper
1/2 medium onion
1 tsp goya minced garlic
1 goya green pickled jalapeno pepper (optional)
1 packet goya powdered chicken bouillon
water to cover
3 tbsp goya corn oil
1 1/2 cups orange juice
1 packet sazon goya without annatto
goya flour tortillas, warmed
1 (17.6 oz) container goya salsa pico de gallo (mild )
1 (12 oz) tub goya frozen guacamole, thawed

Directions:

Season meat with Adobo.
In a deep-sided frying pan or casserole, combine pork, onion, garlic, Jalapeno, bouillon. Add water to cover. Bring to boil, cover and simmer on low heat until meat is tender, about 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Drain pork in colander, discarding vegetables and water.
Heat oil in same pan on medium high. Add drained meat and brown, turning occasionally. When meat is browned, add orange juice and Sazon and bring to boil. Place in oven, uncovered, until juice reduces and glazes meat, about 30 minutes. Stir every 5-10 minutes so it doesn't stick and juice evenly coats meat.
Serve with Tortillas, Salsa Pico de Gallo and Guacamole.
