The story behind

Originating from Sinaloa, chilorio is a staple of Northwestern Mexican cuisine. This recipe captures the essence of slow-cooking, where the meat is simmered until tender and then fried in its own sauce to intensify the flavors. Presented cleanly and professionally on an artisanal clay plate, this dish reflects the balance between rustic tradition and an impeccable aesthetic for family enjoyment.

    Simmer the pork in salted water until very tender; shred it finely.
  2. 2

  3. 3
    Fry the shredded meat in a pan with a little lard or oil and stir in the marinade.
  4. 4
    Cook over low heat until the liquid is absorbed and the meat is well coated and slightly fried.
  5. 5
    Warm the flour tortillas and serve the tacos on a clay plate, accompanying with onion, cilantro, and limes for a professional presentation.
