Recipe Information
Mexican Tacos
Cultural Context
Tacos are a traditional Mexican dish that has gained worldwide popularity. They consist of a folded or rolled tortilla filled with various ingredients, often including meat, vegetables, and condiments. The origins of tacos are debated, with some tracing them back to indigenous cultures in Mexico, while others suggest they evolved from Spanish influences. Tacos are versatile and can be customized with a variety of fillings and toppings, making them a staple in Mexican cuisine.
ground beef
🥗Healthier: ground turkey
💰Cheaper: ground pork
Ground turkey is lower in fat, while ground pork is often less expensive.
cheddar cheese
🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese
💰Cheaper: processed cheese
Reduced-fat cheese offers fewer calories, while processed cheese is usually cheaper.
Turn slow cooker on high. Add onion, lime zest and juice, orange zest and its juice, garlic, cumin, oregano, jalapenos (if using), bay leaves, 3 teaspoons salt and 2 teaspoons pepper. Stir to combine.
Rinse and dry the pork shoulder or butt with paper towel. Sprinkle roast with salt and pepper. Rub seasoning into roast. Place roast in slow cooker, fat side up. Cover and cook until pork roast is tender; between 3-4 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low.
Once the pork is cooked transfer to a large bowl. Using two forks, shred the pork. Do not discard the juices in the slow cooker. Remove the bay leaves.
Put oil in a large skillet, over medium to medium-high heat. Heat until it shimmers. Add the pork. Scoop out 1 cup of cooking liquid and add it to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has almost evaporated and pork is brown and crispy in spots; about 10 to 15 minutes.
Transfer pork to an oven-safe serving bowl and place in oven to keep warm. Add about ½ cup of the remaining cooking liquid to the pork to keep it moist while in the serving dish.
Combine sour cream, broth, and cilantro in a small bowl and whisk well.
Warm tortillas, according to package instructions, if desired. Place all of the toppings in small bowls or on a large cutting board so everyone can make up their own. Add pork and your favorite taco toppings to each tortilla. Add a squeeze of lime over the top of the pork. Drizzle with mojo sour cream and garnish with cilantro.
