Chef's tip
Use the same weight of boneless chicken thighs and cut them as directed. For thin slices, skewers, stir-fries, or frying, cook to 165°F (74°C). For covered braises, cook about 45 minutes; for a slow cooker, use 3 to 4 hours on low.
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 medium white onion, roughly chopped
4 garlic cloves, smashed
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried oregano
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

For the red chile sauce

4 dried guajillo chiles, stemmed and seeded
2 dried ancho chiles, stemmed and seeded
1 can (14.5 oz) fire-roasted diced tomatoes
½ tsp ground cumin
½ tsp dried oregano
½ tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 tbsp vegetable oil

For assembly

12 corn tortillas (6-inch)
2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese

For serving

¼ cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
¼ cup sour cream (optional)

Instructions

1
Pat the pork shoulder chunks dry and season all over with 1 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in batches to avoid crowding, sear the pork on two sides until deep brown, about 3–4 minutes per side, then transfer to a plate.
2
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion to the same pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 4–5 minutes. Add the garlic, 1 tsp cumin, and 1 tsp oregano and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
