Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • onions
Saute the onions in a skillet over about medium heat until they have a little colour; turn off and set aside.
  • 1 piece boneless pork shoulder roast
Freeze the boneless pork shoulder roast about 45 minutes to firm it, then slice into even quarter-inch slices.
  • cinnamon
  • cumin
  • black pepper
  • coriander seeds
Grind the cinnamon, cumin, black pepper and coriander seeds in a dry high-speed blender; scrape the jar and lid into a small bowl.
  • 2 tbsp salt
Mix two tablespoons of salt into the ground spices.
Season the meat evenly with the spice mixture from high up; cover and leave about half an hour, or refrigerate overnight.
  • oil
Oil one side of the slices, lay them in the hottest part of a hot grill to sear, oil the other side and flip once grill-marked; cook a few minutes more, to about medium.
Slice the grilled meat thin and short, about a quarter inch across, and mix into the sauteed onions.
  • Maldon salt
Taste, add a little Maldon salt and reheat the meat and onions together.
  • flour tortillas
  • jojoke
  • strained yogurt
  • milk
  • chipotle salsa
  • cilantro
Fill flour tortillas with the hot meat and onions; top with jocoque or strained yogurt thinned with milk, chipotle salsa, and onions and cilantro.
