Sweet Pork Street Tacos

 Ingredients-

Sweet pork:

Pork shoulder-S

Salt & pepper2

2T chili powder

1 stick (1/2 cup) butter

1 cup brown sugar

Tortillas:

Street taco white corn tortillas

Pork juice from the crock pot

Hot pan (like a cast iron pan)

Oil (just enough to brush on the pan)

Salsa:

1 jar Green salsa verde

1/2 cup sugar

3 cloves garlic

1 T red pepper flakes

1/4 cup cilantro (optional)

Directions-

Sweet pork:

Place pork in crock pot

Rub with chili pepper, salt & pepper

Cook on low 6-8 hours until easily pulls apart

Shred pork as finely as you can (the smaller shreds the better!!)

Lay out evenly on a baking sheet

Set oven to broil

In a sauce pan, melt butter

Add brown sugar and stir continuously until butter is no longer separated from the sugar and small bubbles are starting to form

Pour brown sugar/butter mixture over the pork and toss together

Set pan of pork in the oven and let the brown sugar caramelize. Pork will turn a brown color and has a caramelized "crystal" coating. Don't panic and take them out to early. Give them time but keep checking on them. Pork will not be "wet" but not dry either. I don't know how.

Tortillas:

Heat a pan on the stove and get it nice and hot

Brush with just a bit of oil

Dip a tortilla into the juice that's sitting in the crock pot

Place on hot pan. You don't need to leave it on very long! Just hold it there with some tongs and flip it over to heat the other side until both sides are less "wet" from the juice and have a bit of golden specs to them

Salsa:

Just toss all the ingredients in a blender and voila! Do not skip putting this salsa on the taco. Trust the process.
