Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 3 lbs pork shoulder trimmed and cut into chunks
  • 2 tbsp jerk seasoning
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 0.5 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 8 pieces corn tortillas small, crisped
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 0.5 cup diced tomatoes
  • 0.25 cup sour cream
  • 0.25 cup chopped cilantro

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • In a large bowl, combine pork shoulder chunks with jerk seasoning, orange juice, soy sauce, and olive oil. Mix well to coat evenly.
  • Cover and marinate the pork in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the marinated pork in a baking dish, cover tightly with foil, and roast for 3 hours or until pork is tender and easily shredded.
  • Remove pork from oven and shred using two forks. Keep warm.
  • Crisp the corn tortillas by lightly frying them in a skillet until golden and crunchy.
  • Assemble tostadas by layering shredded lettuce, pulled pork, diced tomatoes, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro on each tortilla.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant flavors of this Jamaican-inspired dish.

Notes

For extra heat, add sliced jalapeños to the tostadas or serve with a spicy mango salsa.
