Pork Pibil Tacos

1. Begin by preparing the chipotle pibil marinade. The first thing is to place your garlic cloves over a hot pan and char them all the way around, turning them from time to time. Then add the spices in with the garlic, and toast them briefly. Remove from the heat, and set aside.
2. In a blender add your toasted spices and garlic, then the olive oil, orange juice, apple cider vinegar, lime juice and last but not least the Gran Luchito Chipotle Paste. Blend smooth and set aside.
3. Place your meat in a baking dish and add the chipotle pibil mixture on top. Cover with cling film and let it marinate overnight in your fridge (if possible).
4. When you are ready to cook your meat, preheat your oven to 130°C / 270°F.
5. Get your meat out of the fridge and add a good pinch of salt over your marinated pork. Then cover with two layers of tin foil and wrap tightly around the edges. Place in the oven for 3 hours to cook slowly.
6. In the meantime, prepare your quick pickled red onions. Into a bowl, place the onion with the olive oil, the juice of two limes, the oregano and a pinch of salt. Mix with a spoon and let it marinate whilst your meat is cooking.
7. If you have time, prepare your own homemade corn tortillas! Check the quick recipe below. But if you are looking for something a bit more convenient, use our lovely Gran Luchito Soft Taco Wraps.
8. 30 minutes before your meat is ready, remove your baking dish from the oven and shred the meat with the help of two forks. Combine the meat with the juices and place it back in the oven, uncovered, for the remaining 30 minutes.
9. Serve your tacos with the delicious chipotle pork pibil, a little bit of the pickled red onion on top, a spoonful of Gran Luchito Hot Habanero Mango Salsa and lime on the side.

To make the corn tortillas:

1. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl with a wooden spoon to form the “masa” (dough), and knead briefly. 
2. Heat up a non-stick pan.
3. Form masa balls with your hands. 
4. Then using a tortilla press and two plastic films press your masa into a tortilla shape.
5. Place in the hot pan for a minute or less on each side and keep them warm wrapped in a tea towel.
