Main Course

Slow-roasted pork shoulder rubbed with Derek Wolf Adobo Honey and braised until fall-apart tender β€” this is the kind of taco that earns a standing ovation. The Adobo Honey Rub brings sweet, smoky heat that penetrates deep into the meat over hours of low cooking, and the cool salsa verde crema brings everything into balance. A weekend cook worth every minute.
