Ingredients
- 10 ounce shredded pork (pre-cooked)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 cup chicken broth
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 Roma tomato (diced)
- 0.25 yellow onion (finely diced)
- 2 tablespoon fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 0.25 head green cabbage (shredded)
- 1 lime (cut into wedges)
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the pre-cooked shredded pork, olive oil, ground cumin, garlic powder, and chicken broth. Heat over medium-low heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is heated through and most of the liquid has absorbed, making it moist and flavorful.
- While the pork heats, prepare the pico de gallo: In a small bowl, combine the diced Roma tomato, finely diced yellow onion, and chopped fresh cilantro. Season with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and a pinch of black pepper, and stir gently to combine.
- Warm the corn tortillas according to package directions, either in a dry skillet, microwave, or oven. Keep them warm wrapped in a clean kitchen towel.
- To assemble the tacos, place a spoonful of the warm shredded pork into each tortilla. Top with some shredded green cabbage and a spoonful of the pico de gallo. Serve immediately with lime wedges for squeezing.
