How to Make Smoky Pork Tinga Tacos with Avocado and Fresh Cheese

1. Layer Potatoes

Arrange the cubed potatoes at the bottom of your slow-cooker.

2. Add Pork

Place the cubed boneless pork shoulder over the potatoes in the slow-cooker.

3. Prepare Tomato Mixture

In a large bowl, combine the fire-roasted diced tomatoes with their juice, seeded and sliced chipotle chiles, chipotle canning sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Mexican oregano, finely chopped garlic, and sliced white onion. Season with a pinch of salt.

4. Cook Pork Tinga

Pour the tomato mixture over the pork and potatoes in the slow-cooker and cook on high for 6 hours.

5. Brown Chorizo

If including chorizo, cook it in a skillet for about 4 minutes until browned and crumbly, then add it to the slow-cooker.

6. Reduce Sauce

If the liquid in the slow-cooker is too thin after cooking, transfer it to a pot and reduce it until it reaches a syrupy consistency.

7. Season and Serve

Season the pork tinga with salt to taste and serve with warm corn tortillas, topped with crumbled Mexican queso fresco or fresh cheese and chunks of avocado.
