Ingredients - Serves 4

Let's Get Started

  1. In a blender, combine the achiote paste, orange juice, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, and salt. Blend until smooth.
  2. Place the pork shoulder in a slow cooker and pour the marinade over it. Make sure the pork is well coated. Cover and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shreds.
  3. Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Set aside.
  4. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  5. Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or on a griddle until pliable.
  6. Fill each tortilla with a portion of the shredded pork and roll it up tightly. Place the rolled enchiladas in a baking dish.
  7. Pour any remaining marinade from the slow cooker over the enchiladas.
  8. Bake the enchiladas in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through.
  9. Serve the enchiladas topped with sliced red onion, chopped cilantro, crumbled queso fresco, and sliced avocado.
