MEAT:
Pork Roast
I cook mine all day in a crock pot (add a little water and salt and pepper). When it's done I shred it and put it in a pan and pour the mojo all over it and then keep it warm until you are ready to serve it.
MOJO
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 jalapenos, minced (I remove most of the seeds)
fresh cilantro, finely chopped
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
2 limes, juice of
2 oranges, juice of
2 tablespoons white vinegar
PICO DE GALLO
8 ripe tomatoes, chopped
2 small red onions, chopped
4 green onions, white and green parts, sliced
3 jalapeno chilies, thinly sliced
cilantro, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
4 limes, juice of
1 teaspoon kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
**(You can make any Pico you have a recipe for)
To Assemble:
Toss a corn tortilla in a frying pan until soft
Add meat
Coleslaw mix or whatever lettuce you want
Pico
** We like a serious kick to our tacos so we drizzle white vinegar over our coleslaw before we add it to the taco.
