Ingredients
  • 1½ tbsp olive oil
  • 2 lbs of pork shoulder, cubed
  • ½ onion medium, diced
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1½ tsp cumin
  • 1½ tsp Mexican oregano
  • 1 tsp white pepper
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1 cup green chiles, diced
  • 2 cups water
  • flour tortillas, for serving (optional)
  • fresh cilantro, for serving (optional)
Instructions
  1. Heat a dutch oven or heavy-bottom pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, add 1½ tbsp of olive oil and half the pork. Brown the pork on all sides about 7-9 minutes, transfer to a plate. Add another 1½ tbsp of oil and brown the remainder of the pork, transfer to the plate with the rest of the browned pork.
  2. Reduce heat to medium and add 2 tbsp of oil. Then add the onion, salt, cumin, oregano and white pepper. Saute until fragrant about 1-2 minutes. Add the flour and stir until it starts to turn brown, about 1-2 minutes. Finally, add in green chiles, water, and pork. Stir well to combine. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and let simmer for 1 hour or until the pork is fork tender.
  3. Serve with homemade tortillas and fresh cilantro.
