Directions

Cochinita pibil is a Mexican dish made from pork. The meat is slow-cooked, then shredded and served on tortillas, in tacos, or on its own with pickled onions, salsa, and various roasted vegetables.

Make the Marinade
Squeeze the juice from the orange and lime. Blend the juice with spices, salt, and achiote paste until smooth.

Marinate the Meat
Pierce the pork with a fork in several places, then pour the marinade over the meat. Rub the marinade into the pork thoroughly and let it marinate in the refrigerator overnight.

Cook the Meat
Place the marinated pork in a deep baking tray, cover it with aluminum foil, and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 3 hours.
Then, remove the foil and continue baking for another 2 hours at the same temperature. Occasionally baste the meat with the juices it releases.

Shred the Cooked Meat
Using two forks, shred the baked pork. Return it to the baking dish and pour over the cooking juices to keep it moist.

Prepare the Vegetables
Finely chop the onion and habanero chili. Season with salt, pepper, and lime juice, and let sit for 10 minutes. Chop the cilantro finely.

Serve
Fill the prepared tortillas with the shredded pork, top with the seasoned vegetables, and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Enjoy!
