My goal for this summer is to make lots and lots of taco recipes, and eat them of course. I am just in love with tacos, I think those little tortillas are the perfect vessel for some delicious meat and are so much fun to eat. While you may look at this recipe and groan at the amount of ingredients and the time involved, I urge you to reconsider. You will end up with lots of braised pork that you can have breakfast tortillas for the rest of the month, unless you have a huge family. But it’s not just breakfast tacos you can make, you can make any kind of tacos you want, burritos, sandwiches, wraps, casseroles. The possibilities are endless. Although this looks like a long recipe, it’s really not that bad. The spice rub will take you no more than a couple minutes to put together and rub over the pork. I did use a pork shoulder here and mine came with a bone, so I just cut it around the bone, and cut out any of the fat that i didn’t want. Once the pork shoulder is prepped and rubbed you need to let it rest for about half hour to make sure the spices penetrate the pork. I also fried some bacon here, for more pork flavor because you can never have enough pork flavor. After the pork rests for half hour we just want to brown it a bit, so it has a nice crust. Then you just prepare the liquid which is beer of course, chicken broth and orange juice and pour over the pork and finally we slowly braise it in the oven for 3 to 4 hours, I left mine in for 4 hours, and your house will smell heavenly. The pork shoulder will easily fall apart and it will be easy for you to shred it with a couple forks. I also added a couple ladles of that yummy liquid to the pork so that it’s nice and juicy and that’s all there is to the braised pork. Now the fun part begins. Making tacos! You’ll need some scrambled eggs, or just cook the eggs to your preference and assemble your tacos. Scrambled eggs and lots of braised pork. I decided to top mine with some tomatoes and green onions and I finally found some queso fresco and used that, but feta cheese would be great here. Finally you can eat! I can’t think of a yummier breakfast. Eggs and double pork in a little tortilla! I could eat a dozen of these. And the best part? You have so much braised pork you can enjoy these tortillas every morning for a few days. Perfect for on the go breakfast.
