4 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Marinate the Pork: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture all over the pork and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight in the refrigerator for more flavor.
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roast the Pork: Place the marinated pork in a roasting pan and cook for about 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Prepare the Tortillas: While the pork is resting, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat until pliable.
Assemble the Tacos: Slice the roasted pork thinly and place it in the warm tortillas. Top with avocado, cilantro, and salsa as desired.
Serve: Enjoy the tacos with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
