← Find another dish Pork Machaca Tender Pulled Mexican Pork 7 ingredients 17 steps 4.8 (32) this is used to make burritos, tacos, or even a mexican style pot roast. although it makes a lot, it freezes well; and the broth makes a nice base for posole soup. quantities are inexact but strict adherence to the recipe is not that crucial; i make this in restaurants and just "go by eye".
