Ingredients
3 lbs. pork shoulder, cut into cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
Directions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add the pork cubes and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
Add the onion and garlic and cook for another 5 minutes, until the onions are softened.
Add the chili powder, cumin, oregano, paprika, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using) and cook for another minute or two, until fragrant.
Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
Remove the lid and continue cooking for another 15 minutes, until the liquid has reduced and the pork is very tender.
Stir in the lime juice and cilantro.
Serve with pico de gallo.
