- Place the pork, water, onion, garlic and salt in a large pot or Dutch oven. Cook, covered, over medium heat for 1-1 1/2 hours or until the pork is very tender.
- Drain the fat. Melt the lard in a saucepan. As soon as it bubbles, add the orange juice and the milk, then the pork.
- Cook, uncovered, over medium heat until the meat is browned, 15-20 minutes (the orange juice and milk will cook off, leaving the pork brown).
- Drain the meat immediately and place in a colander to let the excess grease run off.
-
Serve with hot corn tortillas and salsa, avocado or guacamole. To make the tacos you can add chop onion, cilantro and some drops of freshly squeezed lime juice.
