Tacos de Cerdo are the perfect dish to spice up your dinner tonight with an explosion of flavors wrapped in a warm tortilla!

1

Begin by cutting the pork shoulder into smaller pieces and place them into a pot. Add water, leaving enough space to cover the meat. Bring the pot to a simmer over medium heat and let it cook for approximately 15 minutes.

2

While the pork is cooking, finely chop the onion and garlic.

3

After 15 minutes, add the chopped onion and garlic, cumin, and paprika to the pot. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Allow the pork to simmer for an additional 15 minutes until tender.

4

Once the pork is tender, remove it from the pot and shred it with two forks. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the shredded pork and mix in the chopped cilantro.

5

To serve, heat the corn tortillas in a skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, until warm.

6

Assemble the tacos by placing a generous amount of the shredded pork onto each tortilla, topping it with a spoonful of salsa, and garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
