Time 1h35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (3 pound) boneless pork roast
1 tablespoon garlic salt
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1 medium onion, chopped
½ cup vegetable oil
12 (6 inch) corn tortillas

Steps:

  • 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 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Drain, cool, and shred.
  • Place the shredded pork in a bowl, and season with garlic salt, salt, and pepper. Mix in the Cheddar cheese and onion.
  • 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.
