Steps

3 hours

1

Cut the pork into medium-sized pieces.
2

Blend the vinegar, achiote paste, orange with pulp, garlic, and salt until smooth.
3

Cover the pork with the blended mixture and marinate overnight, or let it rest for at least 2 hours.
4

Transfer to a pot and cook over high heat until it starts to boil. Then reduce to very low heat and cook for 2 1/2 hours. Stir and check every 20 minutes. The meat should be tender enough to shred easily with the back of a spoon.
5

To serve: Make tacos with chopped cilantro, cabbage, and the pickled onions, or make a sandwich by layering fresh queso fresco and topping with the meat and vegetables.
