Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
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

Servings: persons

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.
