When it comes to tacos, I don't fuck around in the slightest

My gf said she wanted tacos this weekend while we binge watch House of Cards. So I took that as an opportunity to make shredded pork adobo and slap it into some tacos. They were, quite simply, insane.

The pork, well, that was some beautiful pork shoulder from my favorite butcher, slow braised in a mix of beer, tomatoes, onion, jalapeno, chipotle, cilantro, green onion, garlic, clementines, coriander, cumin, oregano, and cinnamon.

I took the pork out, and removed the inedible stuff like clementines, skimmed some fat off the braising liquid, blended it all up with my immersion blender, set it aside as salsa, shredded the pork, and mixed it back up with the salsa.

The tacos were legit corn tortillas, the pork, queso fresco, avocado slices, pickled shallots, radishes, and cilantro.

Ho lee fuck.

(And yes, I went back for seconds.)

Plenty of heat from the jalapeños and chipotles in the sauce from the pork. In addition to the sauce that I mixed the pork up with, I had another pint of the stuff left. Which I dolloped on top of the meat.

Nice work on the slow cooked pork shoulder. Nice work on the salsa. Not feeling the extra cilantro on top (otherwise delicious Chipotle is slowly ruining it for me).

Now do fish. With creamy chipotle lime sauce.

I'm a big lengua fan. The gf...not so much. So I'm pretty sure that'll have to be more something I order at a taqueria than make at home.
