Instructions

Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325.
Step 2
Whisk together the braising liquid , except for the bay leaves, in a small bowl and set aside.
Step 3
Cut your pork into large (4”) chunks and season generously with salt and pepper on all sides
Step 4
Place pork in large dutch oven or casserole dish and scatter the chopped onions on top.
Step 5
Pour the braising liquid over the pork and onions and nestle the bay leaves into the liquid.
Step 6
Cover and braise in the oven for (1) hour per pound of pork
Step 7
Remove the pork from oven after cooking and raise the oven temp to 425.
Step 8
While oven is coming to temperature, shred the pork. (You will notice that most of the braising liquid was absorbed into the pork. If there is still quite a bit of liquid then you can remove some of it so that the pork can crisp up in the next step)
Step 9
Leaving the cover off, return the pork to oven for 25 minutes. Start checking the crispiness around 18-20 minutes to ensure the pork gets crispy without totally drying it out.
Step 10
Serve on corn tortillas with fresh guacamole, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime.
Step 11
Enjoy!
