Shredded Pork Taco Filling image

This amalgamation of recipes produces a very mild shredded pork taco filling: tasty, but not as intensely Mexican as one might prefer. I suggest using this as a basis and adapting to suit with the addition of various peppers, sauces, spices, etc. The true beauty of this recipe is that it can be made in a pressure cooker in about an hour. Serve in corn or flour tortillas.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons dried oregano
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 (3 1/2) pound pork shoulder roast
4 cups beef broth
2 bay leaves
½ large white onion, cut into large chunks

Steps:

  • Combine the garlic powder, cumin, coriander, oregano, and cayenne pepper in a bowl. Thoroughly rub the spice mixture over the pork.
  • Place the roast in a pressure cooker with the beef broth, bay leaves, and onion over medium-high heat. Seal the cooker, and bring to full pressure; reduce the heat to maintain high pressure, and cook for 45 minutes.
  • Remove the pressure cooker from the heat and allow the pressure to drop naturally. Transfer the pork to a serving bowl and shred the meat with forks.

Not a fan. Pork was tough and flavorless. Maybe I did something wrong.

Great slow cooker recipe! I let it cook all day while I was at work. Perfect for a busy weeknight dinner.

Solid recipe. Pork was tender and shredded easily. A bit bland for my taste, so I added some extra seasonings.

Pork was a bit dry, but I think that was my fault for not using a slow cooker. Overall, good recipe, but I'll try it again with a different cooking method.

Great base recipe, pork was fall-apart tender and full of flavor. Added some of my own spices to taste. Will be a regular in my dinner rotation.
