Ingredients

1.5 pounds pork shoulder, cut into chunks
2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
Juice of 2 limes
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
8 small corn or flour tortillas
1 cup diced onions
1 cup chopped cilantro
Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

Marinate the Pork: In a bowl, combine the minced chipotle peppers, lime juice, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the pork chunks and coat well. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Cook the Pork: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for an additional 20-25 minutes until tender.
Prepare the Tortillas: While the pork is cooking, warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave until pliable.
Assemble the Tacos: Once the pork is cooked, shred it with two forks. Fill each tortilla with the shredded pork, diced onions, and chopped cilantro.
Serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos and serve with lime wedges on the side.
