Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 tablespoon garlic salt
• 12 (6 inch) corn tortillas
• 1 (3 pound) boneless pork roast

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Cut the pork roast into thirds, and place in a pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 1 hour, or until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Drain, cool, and shred.

Step 2

Place the shredded pork in a bowl, and season with garlic salt, salt, and pepper. Mix in the Cheddar cheese and onion.

Step 3

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place equal amounts of the pork mixture in the center of each corn tortilla, and fold in half to form tacos. One or two at a time, cook the tacos in the hot oil until golden brown.
