1/2 medium | White onion (roughly chopped; for sauce) |
2 tbsp | Extra virgin olive oil (for sauce) |
2 tbsp | Honey (for sauce) |
1 tbsp | Apple cider vinegar (for sauce) |
1 pinch | Kosher salt (for sauce) |
2 tsp | Oregano, dried (for sauce) |
1 tbsp | Extra virgin olive oil |
3 3/4 cup | Chicken broth (stock) |
3 pepper | Ancho, poblano, pepper |

1. Make the Chilli sauce: Add the chipotles, onion, olive oil, honey, vinegar, salt and the oregano to the blender; puree until smooth.
2. Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over high heat and add the chilli sauce and fry, stirring, until thick and fragrant, about 8 minutes. Pour in the broth and reduce until slightly thickened.
3. Season the pork all over with salt and pepper and transfer to a large slow cooker.
4. Add the bay leaves and cinnamon stick, then pour in the sauce.
5. Cover and cook on high until the meat is tender, about 5 hours.
(Or cook the meat in a large Dutch oven, covered, for 1 hour 45 minutes at 350 degrees; uncover and cook 30 more minutes.)
6. Discard the bay leaves and cinnamon stick. Shred the pork with 2 forks; season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the shredded pork in the tortillas, along with desired toppings.
Enjoy!
