Instructions

7 steps
  1. 1

    Trim any excess hard fat from the suadero, then season the meat all over with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat the lard in a wide heavy pan over medium-high heat. Sear the suadero for 3 to 4 minutes per side until browned.

  3. 3

    Add the water, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, turning occasionally, until the meat is very tender and the liquid has mostly reduced.

  4. 4

    Uncover and let the suadero fry in its rendered fat for 5 to 8 minutes, turning until the edges are lightly crisp.

  5. 5

    Transfer the meat to a board, chop it finely, then return it briefly to the pan to coat with the hot fat.

  6. 6

    Warm the corn tortillas on a comal or dry skillet until pliable.

  7. 7

    Fill each tortilla with chopped suadero and serve with onion, cilantro, lime wedges, and salsa.
