Flavorful Mexican pork dish that can be customized to your spice preference. Simple to make and a family favorite dish!
Ingredients:
  • 2 pounds pork butt roast with bone
  • 2 tablespoons achiote paste
  • 0.33333334326744 cup orange juice
  • 0.66666668653488 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 habanero peppers, seeded and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 0.5 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 red onions, sliced into rings
Instructions:
  • 1. Use a fork to pierce holes all over the pork. Coat the pork thoroughly with achiote paste and set aside. 2. In a large bowl, combine orange juice, lemon juice, and habanero peppers. Stir in cumin, paprika, chili powder, coriander, salt, and pepper. 3. Add the pork to the mixture, cover, and refrigerate overnight, rotating a few times.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Encase the pork and marinade in moistened aluminum foil or banana leaves. Transfer to a casserole dish and cover.
  • Slow cook the dish for approximately 2 hours until the meat is tender and falls off the bone. For an even more flavorful outcome, consider baking it at 200°F (95°C) for 4-5 hours or using a slow cooker without foil or leaves.
  • As the pork cooks, prepare the sauce by simmering onions in boiling red wine vinegar until tender. Serve the sauce over the pork alongside white rice and corn tortillas for customizable tacos or fajitas.
