**Mexican Pulled Pork Tacos**

**Ingredients:**
– 2 lbs pork shoulder, trimmed of excess fat
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 onion, chopped
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon chili powder
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon oregano
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
– 12 small flour tortillas
– Toppings: salsa, avocado slices, diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, sour cream, fresh cilantro

**Instructions:**
1. Begin by seasoning the pork shoulder with salt and pepper. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.

2. Remove the pork from the skillet and set it aside. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

3. Sprinkle the chili powder, cumin, paprika, and oregano over the onions and garlic. Stir well to combine and let the spices toast for about a minute to enhance their flavors.

4. Place the seared pork back into the skillet. Pour in the chicken broth and lime juice. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Let the pork cook gently for 2 1/2 – 3 hours until it’s fork-tender and easy to shred.

5. Once the pork is cooked, use two forks to shred it into bite-sized pieces directly in the skillet. Allow the pork to absorb the flavorful juices for an additional 10-15 minutes on low heat.

6. Warm the tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 30 seconds, or heat them on a skillet for a few seconds on each side.

7. To assemble the tacos, place a generous amount of the pulled pork mixture onto each tortilla. Top with your favorite toppings such as salsa, avocado slices, diced tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, sour cream, and fresh cilantro.

8. Serve the tacos warm and enjoy the explosion of flavors with each bite!
