This is a similiar version of Chipotle's restaurant pork. I crave Chipotle's often and so I was glad to finally have a recipe I could create on my own. Note that the pork is supposed to come to room temp. before cooking. (2 hours) I would never do that. I am a freakezoid when it comes to raw meat, but you may be more savvy than I am, so that might work for you. Also, garnish ingredients are approximate. I found this on Ingredients:
1 (6 lb) boneless pork shoulder |
2 -3 tablespoons oil |
1 onion |
4 medium tomatoes |
4 -6 cloves garlic |
1/2-1 teaspoon cumin |
2 -4 sprigs fresh oregano |
2 whole cloves |
2 bay leaves |
2 dried chipotle chiles |
3/4 cup water or 3/4 cup meat stock |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon pepper |
8 -12 flour tortillas |
2 cups shredded lettuce |
1/2 cup sour cream |
2 cups grated cheese |
1 cup salsa |
2 tomatoes, chopped |
1 cup black olives, chopped |
Directions:
1. Generously salt and pepper the pork shoulder.
2. Let meat come to room temperature (2 hours) I would never, ever do this step, but some of you may feel comfortable.
3. Preheat oven to 325*.
4. Add olive oil to pan, sear pork.
5. Let rest 10- 15 minutes.
6. Drain excess oil from pan.
7. Add remaining ingredients to pork.
8. Cover and cook 2-3 hours until internal temperature reaches 140*- 150*.
9. Let pork rest 10- 15 minutes before slicing.
10. Fill flour tortillas with shredded pork, garnish with lettuce, sour cream, grated cheese, salsa, tomatos and black olives or garnish as desired.
