- Cut pork meat into chunks and discard the big pieces of fat. (I leave some fat as it adds flavor).
- Add pork chunks, broth, garlic, comino, onion and cilantro to a dutch oven. If necessary, add water so that the meat is covered.
- Bring to boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for about 3 -4 hours or until meat is very soft and pulls apart easily. (Be careful not to shred meat, needs to stay in chunks).
- Remove the meat carefully from pot and place in a roasting pan. Discard onion and broth. Break the meat apart into smaller chunks (don't shred, it needs to stay in chunks).
- Bakein the oven at 450 8F for about 20 minutes or until the meat is brown and crispy.
- Heat (or make homemade) corn tortillas, serve with desired toppings.
- (You may have to adjust garlic, comino, onion and cilantro to your liking, everyone's taste is different. You can add salt and pepper if you like too, I use Nature's seasonings, personal preference).
