Ingredients

2 to 2 1/2 pounds boneless pork shoulder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 cup apricot jam or preserves
2 jalapeAos, sliced into rings and seeded
1 red onion, roughly chopped
8 small flour or corn tortillas, warmed
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1 lime, cut into wedges

Directions

1

Heat oven to 300A degrees F.
2

Place 2 large sheets of aluminum foil on a work surface, one atop the other.
3

Place the pork in the center of the foil and season on all sides with the salt, pepper, and cumin.
4

Spoon the jam over the pork, turning to coat.
5

Scatter the jalapeAos and onion around the pork.
6

Fold the double layer of foil around the pork and crimp the edges to seal tightly.
7

Place in a baking dish.
8

Roast until fork-tender, about 4 hours; let cool.
9

Unwrap the pork, reserving the juices and discarding the foil.
10

Use a fork to shred the pork.
11

Transfer to a bowl.
12

Pour the cooking juices, onion, and jalapeAos over the pork and toss.
13

Serve with the tortillas, cilantro, and lime wedges.
14

Tip: The best place to warm the tortillas is in the oven: it's quicker than a skillet and less drying than a microwave.
15

As soon as you remove the pork, turn off the heat, wrap the tortillas in foil, and warm them for 10 to 20 minutes.
