Ingredients

• 1 lb pork shoulder (boneless, trimmed and cut into small chunks)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
• 3 garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1.5 cups chicken stock (or water for dairy-free)
• 8 corn tortillas
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 4 radishes (thinly sliced)
• 1 avocado (sliced or mashed)
• 1 lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the pork pieces to the skillet and brown them on all sides. This will take about 5-7 minutes. Once browned, remove the pork and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 5

Chop the chipotle peppers into small pieces and add them to the skillet along with the ground cumin, paprika, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine the spices with the onion mixture.

Step 6

Return the browned pork to the skillet and pour in the chicken stock (or water). Stir to combine, ensuring all the pork is coated in the sauce.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook on low heat for 35-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is tender and the liquid has reduced to a flavorful sauce.

Step 8

While the pork is cooking, prepare your taco toppings: chop the cilantro, slice the radishes, and prepare the avocado and lime wedges.

Step 9

Heat the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side or until warmed.

Step 10

To assemble the tacos, spoon some of the spicy pork mixture into each tortilla and top with chopped cilantro, sliced radishes, avocado, and a squeeze of lime.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your dairy-free spicy pork tacos!
