Ingredients

• 2 pounds pork shoulder, boneless
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 2 bell peppers, thinly sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• 8-10 small flour tortillas
• Toppings: salsa, guacamole, sour cream, chopped cilantro, lime wedges

Directions

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pork shoulder and sear on all sides until browned, about 5 minutes per side.
2. Transfer the pork shoulder to a slow cooker. Add the sliced onion, bell peppers, garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using) to the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
3. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or high heat for 4-6 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
4. Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Reserve the cooking liquid and vegetables from the slow cooker.
5. In a separate skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the reserved vegetables from the slow cooker and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until they are slightly caramelized.
6. Return the shredded pork to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables and mix well. Pour in a small amount of the reserved cooking liquid to keep the mixture moist and flavorful.
7. Heat the flour tortillas according to package instructions or warm them in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few seconds on each side.
8. To serve, fill each warmed tortilla with a generous amount of the shredded pork and vegetable mixture. Top with salsa, guacamole, sour cream, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
9. Enjoy these delicious Shredded Pork Fajita Tacos with your favorite sides and indulge in the amazing flavors of Mexican cuisine!
