Shredded Pork Tostadas
These Shredded Pork Tostadas are so packed with flavor, and really easy to put together. The pork is slow cooked with so many spices and flavors, you don’t even need to add any extra sauce or salad dressing! I adapted the pork (carnitas) recipe from the Food Network and it is my new favorite way to do shredded pork. We had the pork in tacos a few days after making the tostadas and they were out of this world good. Definitely keep this recipe on hand to use for a new taco/burrito/enchilada filling! You won’t be disappointed!
Pork in the Slow Cooker
This pork for these tostadas could not be easier to make. To get that savory, saucy, pull-apart pork here’s all you do:
Use a pound of boneless country style pork ribs or a pork shoulder for this recipeCreate a rub with oregano, cumin and olive oil and apply it all over the pork.Place it in a Crock Pot along with onion, garlic, jalapeno.Squeeze the juice of half an orange over the top and then toss in the orange half in the slow cooker.Let it simmer for six or so hours on low (or three to four hours on high) until the pork is tender.Remove the pork and shred it up.Then fry the shredded pork on the stove top with a little oil until it’s just slightly crispy. Then you’re ready to make some yummy tostadas!
Lighter Tostadas
I love this recipe because the corn shells are baked, not fried in lots of oil. They’re nice and crispy and they only take a couple of minutes to bake up. Just brush each side of some yellow corn tortillas with olive oil, then bake at 425 degrees for five minutes one one side. Then flip them over and bake for another three minutes on the other. Top with shredded pork and all kinds of toppings. Check out the recipe card below for suggestions.
