CUBAN PULLED PORK TACOS WITH GUAVA GLAZE, SOUR ORANGE RED CABBAGE-JICAMA SLAW AND CHIPOTLE MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• For the pork: Using a paring knife, make small slits over the entire surface of the pork. Put the pork in a large roasting pan or bowl. Combine the oil, oregano, garlic and a big pinch of salt in a blender and blend until smooth. Rub into the slashes. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours and up to 24 hours.

Glaze the top with the guava mixture, flip, glaze again, cover the box and cook another 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork is about 195 degrees F.
