Ingredients

Directions

1.

PLACE pork slices in a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish.

2.

In a mixing bowl, ADD water; STIR in chili powder, red pepper, garlic, cumin, oregano and salt.

3.

POUR mixture over pork slices, TURNING slices to coat.

4.

COVER; REFRIGERATE at least eight hours, TURNING slices occasionally.

5.

BAKE, covered, 325 F for one hour (*see note)

6.

UNCOVER; BAKE another 1 to 1 1/2 hours; SPOON marinade over slice occasionally.

7.

COOL to room temperature; SHRED meat with fingers; RETURN to baking dish.

8.

BAKE at 350 F until most of water is absorbed and meat is saucy, about 30 minutes.

Serve with shredded lettuce, sour cream and warmed tortillas.

Instead of using a baking dish, steps 5 and 6 may be done in a crock pot. When meat is tender, shred as directed. Step 8 may be done on stove top if necessary to cook down sauce.
