Ingredients
  

  • 5 tablespoon olive oil divided
  • 2 pound pork shoulder cubed
  • 0.5 medium onion diced
  • 2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1.5 teaspoon cumin
  • 1.5 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
  • 1 teaspoon white pepper
  • 2 tablespoon all purpose flour
  • 1 cup green chiles diced
  • 2 cup water
  • flour tortillas for serving
  • fresh cilantro for serving

Equipment

  • Dutch oven
  • Heavy-bottom pot

Method
 

  1. Heat a dutch oven or heavy-bottom pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, add 1 1/2 tbsp of olive oil and half the pork. Brown the pork on all sides about 7-9 minutes, transfer to a plate. Add another 1 1/2 tbsp of oil and brown the remainder of the pork, transfer to the plate with the rest of the browned pork.
  2. Reduce heat to medium and add 2 tbsp of oil. Then add the onion, salt, cumin, oregano, and white pepper. Saute until fragrant about 1-2 minutes. Add the flour and stir until it starts to turn brown, about 1-2 minutes. Finally, add in green chiles, water, and pork. Stir well to combine. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and let simmer for 1 hour or until the pork is fork tender.
  3. Serve with tortillas and cilantro.
