Ingredients

2 pounds pork shoulder, trimmed
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
12 small corn or flour tortillas
1 cup diced onions
1 cup chopped cilantro

Instructions

Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix together minced garlic, olive oil, rosemary, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Marinate the Pork: Rub the marinade all over the pork shoulder, ensuring it is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Roast the Pork: Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the marinated pork in a roasting pan and cover with foil. Roast for about 2 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shredded.
Shred the Pork: Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. Shred the pork using two forks.
Warm the Tortillas: In a skillet, warm the tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
Assemble the Tacos: Fill each tortilla with shredded pork, diced onions, and chopped cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
