Cinco De Mayo

Cinco de Mayo, (Spanish: “Fifth of May”), also called Anniversary of the Battle of Puebla, holiday celebrated in parts of Mexico and the United States in honour of a military victory in 1862 over the French forces of Napoleon III.

We are a melting pot of people and one way to share is in food :

Since we are in Lock-down and missing my favorite Food Truck to Celebrate :

Slow Cook Mexican Pulled Pork

• 2 kg / 4 lb pork shoulder (pork butt) ,
• 2 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 onion , chopped
• 1 jalapeno , deseeded, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 3/4 cup juice from orange (2 oranges)

RUB

• 1 tbsp dried oregano
• 2 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tbsp olive oil

• Combine the Rub ingredients then rub all over the pork.
• Place the pork in a slow cooker (fat cap up), top with the onion, jalapeño, minced garlic (don’t worry about spreading it) and squeeze over the juice of the oranges.
• Slow Cook on low for 10 hours or on high for 6 hours. Pull and serve on flour tortilla with Queso asadero or queso quesadilla( Mexican cheese) that is a creamy, smooth, semi-soft white cheese that melts beautifully
