Ingredients

• 1 (5-5 1/2 lb) pork butt, bone in, untrimmed
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 T olive oil
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup canned chopped green chilies
• 1/2 lb queso Fresco cheese or any meltable white cheese, such as Monterey Jack

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees

Season the pork with salt and pepper. Place in a medium roasting pan and add ½ cup water. Place in the oven and roast for 1 hour. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees and continue to cook for 3 hours. Remove from the oven and cool completely. In a large saute pan, over medium heat, add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions. Season with salt and pepper. Saute until the onions are caramelized, about 8-10 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and cool completely. When the pork is cool, remove any excess fat and the bone. Shred the meat into bite size pieces. In a mixing bowl, combine the pork, onions, chilies and cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
