Cochinita Pibil Recipe

Ingredients

• 3.5 oz achiote bar (annato condiment found in the hispanic section of grocery stores)
• 1/2 cup white vinegar
• 1 cube of beef bouillon
• 2 lbs of boneless lean pork loin roast. (Cubed into beef stew size and fat trimmed off)
• 12 oz can of coke
• 1 12 oz lite beer (bottle (any brand will do) See the notes if you don't want to use beer. )
• salt & pepper to taste if needed

Steps

1. 1

   In a small bowl, dissolve the achiote & beef bullion in the vinegar. Use a fork to break it down.

2. 2

   Place the pork, achiote mix, beer and soda in the crockpot. Mix and incorporate all ingredients well.

3. 3

   Cook for 4 hours on high or 8 hours on low.

4. 4

   The pork is ready when it shreds easily. Remove a few pieces of pork at a time and shred with two forks in a bowl. You can do this step in the crockpot as well but I prefer to do it in a bowl so you don’t risk scratching the crockpot.

5. 5

   Return shredded pork to the crockpot and cook for 30 more minutes. This will ensure all of the meet is infused with the achiote perfectly.

6. 6

   Serve on tacos or tortas
