Asado de Boda Tacos

Asado de Boda Tacos are a traditional Mexican dish made with slow-cooked red chile pork that is very tender. The spicy, rich sauce made from dried chiles, fragrant spices, and soft pork makes these tacos a real treat for the taste buds. For a real taste of Mexico, put fresh cilantro, radishes, and a squeeze of lime on top of them.

Ingredients:

• 3 pounds boneless pork shoulder, cut into 2-inch cubes
• 4 dried New Mexico red chiles, stemmed and seeded
• 2 dried guajillo chiles, stemmed and seeded
• 1 onion, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 cup chicken broth
• Corn tortillas, for serving
• Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
• Sliced radishes, for garnish
• Lime wedges, for garnish

Instructions:

Put the dried chiles in a dry skillet over medium-low heat

Toast them for a few seconds on each side until they start to smell good

Watch out not to burn them

Put the hot chiles in a bowl and pour hot water over them

Soak them for twenty minutes or so, until they get soft

Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, dried oregano, ground cloves, salt, and pepper to a blender

The chiles should already be soaked

Mix until the paste is smooth

You can add some of the liquid used to soak the chilies if you need to help the mixture blend

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat

Put in the pork cubes and cook them all over until they are brown

Pour the chile paste over the pork that has been browned, and then stir the meat to cover it all

Toast the chile paste for a few minutes to make the flavor better

Bring the chicken broth into the mix and bring it to a simmer

Turn down the heat, cover, and let it cook slowly for two to three hours, or until the pork is soft and cooked all the way through

If you need to, you can add more chicken broth to keep the sauce thick

You can shred the pork with two forks or your hands after it's done cooking

Let it cook in the sauce for another 10 to 15 minutes so it can soak up more flavor

You can heat the corn tortillas up in the microwave or a dry pan

Put a lot of the shredded pork on each warm tortilla to start putting the tacos together

Put chopped cilantro, sliced radishes, and a squeeze of lime juice on top
