Steps

2 to 3 hours
  1. 1

    Line a pressure cooker with a cross of aluminum foil and place the banana leaves inside. Add water to the bottom and spread lard over the banana leaves.

  2. 2

    Remove the seeds and veins from the guajillo chiles, then quickly soak them in hot water.

  3. 3

    Wash the pork thoroughly and trim off excess fat.

  4. 4

    In a blender, combine the achiote paste, sour orange juice, white vinegar, cumin, oregano, black peppercorns, cloves, and garlic. Add salt at the end. Marinate the pork with this mixture.

  5. 5

    Place the marinated pork on the banana leaves, making sure the meat and chiles are contained. Close the pressure cooker and cook over heat for about 1 hour and 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    Once cooked, shred the pork and serve it in tortillas (tacos) or on panuchos (corn tostadas with refried beans).
