Original Recipe Yield 12 tacos
 

Ingredients

  • 1 (3 pound) boneless pork roast
  • 1 tablespoon garlic salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 12 (6 inch) corn tortillas

Directions

  1. Cut the pork roast into thirds, and place in a pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 1 hour, or until pork reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Drain, cool, and shred.
  2. Place the shredded pork in a bowl, and season with garlic salt, salt, and pepper. Mix in the Cheddar cheese and onion.
  3. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place equal amounts of the pork mixture in the center of each corn tortilla, and fold in half to form tacos. One or two at a time, cook the tacos in the hot oil until golden brown.
