How to make Marinated hot pork: carne adovada tacos

1) Place the meat into an 28cm by 30cm baking dish. Add the dry ingredients and the soybean oil and toss the meat to coat well. Marinate overnight or for 6 hours, covered, in the refrigerator.

2) Preheat the oven to 180C/Gas 4. Add the baking dish to the oven and bake the meat, covered, in the oven for 45 to 60 minutes. Remove and allow to cool slightly.

3) When cooled, chop the meat into small cubes. Serve on the tortillas, sprinkled with diced white onion and chopped coriander, and a squeeze of fresh lime. Serve immediately.
