Method

1

Trim excess fat from pork shoulder and cut into 4-inch chunks. Slice onions into half-moons. Mince garlic.

2

Add pork chunks to slow cooker. Layer onions and garlic over meat.

3

Pour canned tomatoes with juice and red wine vinegar over pork. Sprinkle cumin, oregano, paprika, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper evenly over contents.

4

Cover slow cooker and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours, until pork is tender and shreds easily with a fork.

5

Remove bay leaves. Using tongs, pull pork apart into shreds directly in the slow cooker. Stir shredded meat back into the braising liquid.

6

Warm tortillas over a gas flame, in a skillet, or wrapped in a damp kitchen towel in the microwave for 30 seconds.

7

Spoon 1/2 cup shredded pork and 3 to 4 tablespoons braising liquid onto the center of each warm tortilla. Roll or fold into a wrap and serve immediately.
