INGREDIENTS

  • Broth mixture

    • 💧 2 cups water
    • 1 sprig fresh thyme
    • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
    • 1 tablespoon onion powder

  • Main

    • 1 ½ pounds boneless pork chops
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 🧅 1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced
    • 🧄 3 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
    • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

STEPS

1

Combine water, juice of one lime, thyme, peppercorns, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt in a large pot. Bring to a boil. Add pork, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until meat is very tender, about 1 to 1 ½ hours. Add more water as necessary to keep pork covered.

2

Turn off heat and let pork rest in broth for 30 minutes. Remove pork from broth and shred, removing and discarding excess fat. Set aside.

3

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork and fry until almost crisp, about 5 minutes. Add onion and garlic, and cook until onion is crisp-tender, about 10 minutes more.

4

Stir in remaining lime juice and cilantro. Serve.
