Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Toss the sliced onion with lime juice and vinegar in a small bowl. Set aside to quick-pickle while you cook.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 1 minute.

  3. Step 3

    Add the shredded pork and cook undisturbed for 2 minutes until edges crisp. Stir and break into chunks, cook 1 more minute until edges darken.

  4. Step 4

    Warm tortillas directly over a gas flame for 10 seconds per side, or wrap in foil and warm in a 300°F oven for 2 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Fill each tortilla with crispy pork, a small pinch of pickled onions, and fresh cilantro.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately with extra pickled onions and lime wedges on the side.
