Ingredients

Techniques
- 1 kg pork shoulder
- 10 g salt
- water
Chop the pork into pieces and put in a cast iron pot with the salt; add water to just cover.
Bring to a boil over medium-high, turn to low, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 45 to 60 minutes.
- reserved pork fat
Reserve a couple spoonfuls of the rendered fat from the top; strain out and reserve some of the broth; drain the rest.
- 4 whole roma tomatoes
- 2 cloves peeled garlic
- ⅓ can chipotles in adobo
- Mexican or regular oregano
- salt
- reserved pork broth
Blend the roma tomatoes, garlic, chipotles in adobo, oregano and salt, thinning with reserved pork broth. Season after cooking, since the sauce is raw.
- ¼ whole onion
Heat the reserved pork fat in a pan and fry the onions one to two minutes with a little salt, stirring occasionally, until translucent.
- sour cream
Add the tinga sauce and simmer about five minutes, stirring occasionally; stir in a spoonful of sour cream.
- 1 whole bay leaf
Add the shredded pork (and the bay leaf) and cook about eight minutes more until the sauce thickens.
Cooking the pork into the sauce
- corn tortilla
- shredded lettuce
- tomato
- pickled onions
- cilantro
Serve on a tostada: fried corn tortilla, sour cream, tinga, shredded lettuce, tomato, pickled onions and cilantro.
