Tacos de cochinita pibil

Method

1. 1 Mix achiote with sour orange juice and oregano, then marinate the pork shoulder for 12 hours.
2. 2 Line a cast-iron pot with water at the bottom with banana leaves and place a rack on top of the meat so it rests on the surface of the water.
3. 3 Simmer the meat in a sealed pot for 4 hours; this is a way to cook the meat using steam instead of a clay pit.
4. 4 The water at the bottom of the pot mixes with the meat juices that drip down, becoming a rich broth that is then used to mix with the meat.
5. 5 Tear the meat into pieces and mix it with the broth at the bottom of the pot.
6. 6 Soak red onions in vinegar and chopped habanero peppers for 1 hour to make xnipec, then arrange them with the meat and black beans.
