    Made this with a picnic shoulder, the only cut I could find with a skin-on fat cap. Cooked it overnight last night and was delighted to pick off and eat some of the the bark while my morning coffee brewed. Cook’s treat. It is delicious! Use. All. The. Salt. Seriously. The long marinade seasons the pork to the bone, and the result is not too salty. The real takeaways from this recipe are the long marinade and the low and slow open pan roast. What you do with the big old pile of pork and chicharron at the end is your business.

    I've been using that curtido recipe, and a slightly different avocado salsa for a couple years now when I make pork shoulder on the smoker. Never thought to put it into a torta... which I will now do with some of my frozen bbq pork! I started using red onion in the curtido, it gives it an even more intense purple/pink color, which is very pretty with the green salsa. For the salsa I've found maybe a Tsp of mayo helps to keep the thing from separating, and adding some chicken bullion powder makes it even more addictive
