Ingredients

3 lbs of boneless pork cut into serving size pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 cloves of garlic chopped
Zest of 1 tangerine left in 1-inch strips
Salt and pepper
Noble Tangerine Juice

Method

In a large dutch oven, brown pork on all sides in olive oil. Add garlic, tangerine zest and salt and pepper. Cover pork ¾ of the way with Noble tangerine juice.

Bring to a boil, turn heat to medium and simmer covered for several hours until pork is fork tender. Continue cooking uncovered until some of the liquid has evaporated.

Using 2 forks pull pork apart into bite size pieces and allow to absorb the remaining liquid. Serve with tortillas and your favorite toppings!
