Steps:

  • To a large pot, add the cubed pork shoulder, onions, avocado leaves, pepper, salt, garlic, and bay leaves. Add enough cold water to cover all the meat. Bring to a boil over high heat, then continue to boil for 20 minutes.
  • Add the orange juice, milk, and cola, return to a boil, and simmer until the liquid has reduced by half, about 1 hour.
  • Add the lard, let it melt, then boil off the rest of the liquid until the meat begins to fry, 1 hour more.
  • Once the meat turns dark golden brown and is crispy, scoop it out of the pot and onto a paper bag or paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain.
  • Serve with corn tortillas, guacamole, pickled vegetables, cilantro, lime wedges, cilantro rice, and pinto beans.
  • Enjoy!

  • Place the pork in a large, heavy bottomed pot or dutch oven. Add the orange juice, lime juice, garlic, cumin, and salt. Add just enough water to the pot to cover the pork.
  • Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to a simmer. Simmer uncovered, without stirring, for 2 hours.
  • Increase the heat to medium high and stir/turn the meat occasionally. The more you move the meat around the more it will fall apart.
  • Continue cooking for 45 minutes or until all of the water has evaporated, leaving only the pork fat. Let it fry, stirring often to break up the meat, until the pieces are somewhat crispy and browned.
