Cochinita Tacos
Slow-roasted pork with homemade corn tortillas
with Renata Lira

Cochinita is one of the defining dishes of the Yucatán Peninsula.

Traditionally, pork is seasoned with achiote and citrus, then cooked for hours in a pib - a Maya underground oven that gives the dish its depth and tenderness. While we won’t be cooking it underground in class, we will follow the same logic of time, balance, and restraint. Easy to impress family and guests at home.

The cochinita will be served the way it should be: in freshly made corn tortillas, with pickled red onions and habanero for that sharp, spicy contrast that makes each bite come alive.

This is not fast cooking. It’s careful cooking - and you can taste the difference.

Menu:

  •  Cochinita - slow-cooked achiote marinated pork
  •  Onion-habnero Pickle
  •  Freshly Made Corn Tortillas
  •  Cinnamon Atole
