Steps

2 hours

1

Cut the pork shoulder into 1-2 inch cubes.
2

Thinly slice the onion.
3

All all ingredients to a large pot. Cover. Bring to a boil.
4

When it boils, uncover and set to low heat, stirring occasionally. Remove bay leaves after an hour.
5

After 2 hours water should be evaporated. Turn heat to medium, the remaining oil should fry the pork. Make sure to stir frequently to break up pork. Cook for another 15-20 mins.
6

Serve with rice or in tacos. I like to add hot sauce for some kick.
