Cooking Instructions
1.
Stir the Chili Powder (as needed), Smoked Paprika (as needed), Cayenne Pepper (as needed), Ground Nutmeg (as needed), Salt (1 pinch), and Freshly Ground Black Pepper (1 pinch) together in a small bowl.
2.
Get out the Pork Shoulder (8 lb) and rub that mixture all over it.
3.
Then heat the Olive Oil (1 dash) in a large Dutch oven over medium high heat. Brown the pork shoulder for about 2 minutes on each side to bring out the flavors of the spice rub.
4.
Pour in the juice of the Limes (3), Tequila (1/2 cup), Chicken Stock (2 cups), Fresh Cilantro (4 Tbsp), and Onion (1).
5.
Let it come to low boil, then cover the pot with its lid. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let it go low and slow for 6 hours.
6.
When it is done, remove the pork shoulder from the pot onto a large cutting board. Use two forks to shred the meat off of the bone and fat back. Transfer it to a bowl and pour a cup of the cooking liquid on the shredded pork. Mix it together.
7.
Then assemble the sandwiches. Toast the Whole Grain Hamburger Buns (10) then pile on the pork, a couple of slices of Avocados (to taste), and a couple of spoonfuls of Salsa (to taste). Enjoy!
