Shredded Pork Taquitos - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1 1/2 lbs pork shoulder, trimmed and cut into 2 inch cubes (I used pork tenderloin)
    salt & pepper
    1 cup chopped onion
    2 tablespoons chopped garlic
    1 cup chopped tomato, peeled and seeded (I like the plum tomatoes here, and I don't peel and seed)
    4 cups beef stock
    corn tortilla
Preparation
    In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil.
    Add the pork and season with salt and pepper.
    Sear the pork until browned, about 2 minutes per side.
    Add the onions and saute until softened, about 2 minutes.
    Add the chopped garlic and tomatoes. Season with more salt and pepper.
    Saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the beef stock and bring the liquid to a boil.
    Cover and reduce to a simmer. Simmer until pork is very tender, about 2 hours. (Depending upon cut of meat).
    To make taquitos, find the best quality corn shells you can. I quickly heat mine on an oiled pan, both sides, then lay on a paper lined plate. Add pork in a line, roll as tightly as possible. I stick a toothpick in them to hold. I then deep fry for just a few minutes. All will have to be played with on an individual basis. I know they can also be baked but haven't tried that myself.
