Cochinita Pibil Tacos Itacate

Cochinita pibil it's the most popular dish of Yucatán. It is pulled pork shoulder marinated and braised in achiote paste, orange juice, and lime wrapped in banana leaves. Some places still cook it the traditionally way, cooked underground over hot stones. This preparation, as well as many other Mexican recipes, has pre-Hispanic roots and still preserves the technique of cooking within ground ovens, holes with stones heated for hours over firewood.

This delicacy is enjoyed in tacos accompanied by a layer of refried beans, garnished with pickled onions and the traditional Habanero salsa, one of the hottest peppers in the world.

This itacate is perfect for a dinner for two. It's ideal for people that don't like to cook. All the ingredients are ready to serve, you only need to prepare the onions for the topping. The recipe is included.
