Preparation

Step 1

In a 3 quart saucepan, combine port, onion, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, oregano and cumin; add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Drain meat and place in a baking pan. Sprinkle meat evenly with salt or garlic salt. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 45 minutes. Remove from oven. While meat is still warm, use forks to shred meat.

Use shredded meat for tacos, burritos, tostadas or sandwiches.
