Hi Guys~Welcome back! Â We had a Mexican Fiesta at our house last night and the star of the show were these mouth-watering Pork Tacos. Â They are one of our absolute favorite meals! Â The pork taco meat is super easy to make and great to feed a crowd with. Â Those of you who know me, probably already know that Mexican food is my very favorite food, hands down! Â I love it…all of it! Tacos, enchiladas, fajitas, chimichangas, margaritas, guacamole…I could go on and on with my love affair. Â But seriously, give this recipe a try, I promise you are going to like it. Â Even if you don’t like spicy or Mexican food, these are very mild and the only heat comes from salsa or taco sauce that you put on top. Â I like to serve the shredded Pork meat on corn and flour tortillas and loaded up with sour cream, guacamole, shredded cheese, and salsa. Â Simply delicious!
Enjoy my friends…and as always….
Just Keep Cooking! Â xo, Jacque

To get started , you will need to marinate the pork overnight in the refrigerator. Â Yes, it is a plan ahead meal, but well worth the wait! Â You will need 2-3 lbs of boston pork butt roast(diced in 2 inch pieces), 1/4 cup lime juice(aprox 2 limes), 1/2 cup orange juice(2 oranges, or use not from concentrate juice), and 2-3 garlic cloves, minced. Mix all together in plastic gallon baggie or bowl and set in frig. Â Next day, pour into baking dish(or foil throwaway pan, if you are lazy like me!) with the juices, Â add a sprinkle of salt, pepper, garlic salt and oregano and cover with foil. Â Bake at 275 F. for about 5 hours.(It has to be cooked low and slow to get really tender and yummy!) Â Remove foil last 30 minutes to brown up. Â Cool a bit and shred with 2 forks. Â Delicious!
*(Working today…no worries…just dump the marinated meat and juices into a crockpot/slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours…dinner will be ready when you get home!) 🙂
