My take on it:
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 4 pounds of pork, cut into large chunks
- 1.5 tbsp (4-5 tsp) kosher salt. Reduce the amount if using table salt and not kosher salt. It’s way more dense.
- 1 onion chopped
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 3 tbsp lime juice
- 1 heaping tbsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1 packet chicken bouillon powder (makes 2 cups)
- 1 packet sazon seasoning
- 3-4 cans of beer, to cover pork
- Heat oil in a large pot. Coat pork with salt, then fry in the pot until brown.
- Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil
- Reduce heat to medium low, cover, and simmer until pork is fork tender, about 2.5 hours
- Transfer pork to a large baking sheet and pull/shred pork
- Drizzle some of the cooking liquid over the pulled pork and put in the oven at 400 degrees
- Every 10 minutes, drizzle more of the liquid over the pork
- After 30 minutes, remove pork from oven and serve
