Ingredients
-
2 cups water, more as needed
-
2 limes, juiced and divided
-
1 sprig fresh thyme
-
8 black peppercorns
-
1 tablespoon garlic powder, or to taste
-
1 tablespoon onion powder
-
salt to taste
-
1 ½ pounds boneless pork chops
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced
-
3 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
-
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
-
Combine water, juice of one lime, thyme, peppercorns, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt in a large pot. Bring to a boil. Add pork, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until meat is very tender, about 1 to 1 ½ hours. Add more water as necessary to keep pork covered.
-
Turn off heat and let pork rest in broth for 30 minutes. Remove pork from broth and shred, removing and discarding excess fat. Set aside.
-
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork and fry until almost crisp, about 5 minutes. Add onion and garlic, and cook until onion is crisp-tender, about 10 minutes more.
-
Stir in remaining lime juice and cilantro. Serve.
