PORK TACOS WITH ONIONS AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Put a rimmed baking sheet under the broiler; preheat 5 minutes. Toss the pork with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 teaspoon fajita seasoning in a large bowl. Transfer the pork to the hot baking sheet and broil 5 minutes. Meanwhile, add the bell peppers, thickly sliced onions, 1 tablespoon olive oil and the remaining 1 teaspoon fajita seasoning to the bowl; toss.
• Turn the pork and scatter the vegetables around it. Broil, tossing the vegetables and turning the pork occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and charred around the edges and a thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 145 degrees F, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the pork to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes. (Continue broiling the vegetables, if needed.)
• Toss the thinly sliced onion, radishes, cucumbers, jalapenos and brine in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add the cilantro, the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and the lime juice; toss.
• Slice the pork and toss with the peppers and onions. Serve in the tortillas with the cucumber salad and lime wedges.

Add the onion and bell peppers; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until the vegetables are crisp-tender and slightly browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the skillet. Add the pork and sear over high heat until browned, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the pork to the plate with the onion and peppers.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic, sage and tomato paste to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until the tomato paste turns brick-red, about 1 minute. Add the pepperoncini slices and their liquid, then pour in the wine and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon or spatula. Add the broth and return to a simmer. Arrange the pork in a single layer in the skillet; add the onion and peppers and sprinkle with cheese. Transfer to the oven and broil until the pork is cooked through, 4 to 7 minutes.

SHREDDED PORK TACOS

Steps:

• Pork:.
• trim fat from meat. In a small bowl combine garlic, coriander, cumin, oregano, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and red pepper. Rub into the meat and place in a roasting pan with cover. Roast at 325 for 2.5-3 hours or until very tender. (I haven't tried it yet, but I'd wager you could cook it in a crock pot too).
• Remove meat from liquid and shred the pork using 2 forks. Stir in 1/4c of liquid if desired.
• Sour Cream Sauce:.
• Whisk it all together.
• Now you're going to need the basics like shredded cheese, lettuce, salsa (I prefer the sauce), torillas, etc. but these two recipes will make the best tacos you've ever eaten.
