Pulled Pork Tacos

All homemade, served with lime and cilantro. Takes about an afternoon of slow cooking, and a half-hour making tortillas and then tacos.

Get yourself an onion and a pork shoulder.

You'll also want a dutch oven handy. If you prefer, you can use a slow cooker.

Cut up the onions. It doesn't matter too much how you do it, they'll all be the same after a slow cooking.

Heat some olive oil in the dutch oven, at medium heat.

Add the onions, and some salt — about a teaspoon.

Sweat the onions.

Prepare the meat. I had to remove a netting the grocery store added. If you like, cut off the fat.

Brown the meat on each side, a few minutes per side, using tongs to turn it.

Add a bit of water, to deglaze the pork & onion brownings from the pan.

Deglazing.

Add water up to 4 cups, more if you feel like it. If the pork isn't covered, that's ok — you'll just need to flip it.

When the water starts bubbling, reduce the heat to about 2 or 3 and wait a few hours.

While you prepare the tortillas, take off the lid and increase the heat. You can start breaking up the pork now too.

Get your spices ready. Pity I didn't have more cumin.

Stir in the salt and spices to taste. I like to add a bunch of cumin, some chili powder, and some paprika.

You'll need a cup of flour, and 1/4 tsp each of baking powder and salt.

Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl.

Prepare the water and oil. Don't worry too much about being exact.

Add the water and oil to the flour.

Stir until combined into a dough.

Split the dough into 8 balls.

Flour a surface for rolling.

Roll out the ball as flat as you can. It should be slightly translucent.

Heat a cast-iron or similar pan on medium heat.

They'll take about a minute a side, but this can change a lot based on how hot the pan gets. Look for bubbles on the surface.

Flip the tortilla over and do the other side. Repeat 7 more times.

Get out your cilantro and a lime.

Cut the lime into pieces.

Put the tortillas on plates and add cilantro, with the limes on the side.

Add pork to your tortillas and serve.
