4lb pork butt, cube to 2" pieces 1 1/2 C chicken broth or stock 2 tbl spoons crushed dried oregano, Mexican if you can get it. 2 teaspoons salt 2 tsp cumin 1/2 lard or vegi oil, I used 1/4C crisco 1 orange halved. 3 bay leaves 1 onion sliced Put it all in a crock pot on low for 8 hours. Take out the meat, shred into bite sized pieces and fry in a pan on one side until browned. I used some of the pan juices to fry the meat in and the. Put the pan, meat and all, in a 450 oven for about 15 minutes or until the pork has carmelized and browned. Serve on a tortilla with pico. You can also add extra onion at the end while the meat is frying and baking. |

quote nojobro: "Sounds delicioso. :) Yep. Sorry, 1/2 C lard. I think you could skip this if your pork is real fatty. Once the fat renders it would probably be enough to lube the meat. |
