Makes 6 servings

30 minutes active 

30 minutes total 

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F. 

Step 2

In a cast-iron skillet or ovenproof pan over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Add the pork and sauté until warmed through and crispy, about 10 minutes. Use a fork or tongs to shred the meat. Season to taste with salt. Transfer to a bowl and keep warm. 

Step 3 

Remove the chicken from the marinade and season with salt. Wipe out the pan, return it to medium-high heat, and warm 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Add the chicken and cook until golden on the first side, 5 minutes. Flip the chicken and transfer the pan to the oven. Bake until the chicken is no longer pink at the center, 10 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board to rest, 5 minutes. Slice the meat across the grain. 

Step 4 

To warm the tortillas, in a dry pan over medium-high heat, flash the tortillas for 30 seconds on each side. Wrap them in a clean towel to steam through and keep warm. Or, wrap the tortillas in a clean, damp towel and microwave to warm through, 30 seconds.

Step 5 

Peel, pit, and dice the avocados. Pick the cilantro leaves and toss the stems. 

Step 6

Set out the shredded jack, pickled onions, tomatillo salsa, avocado, and cilantro in bowls, as well as hot sauce, if you want a kick. Arrange the pork, chicken, and tortillas on a platter. Serve warm, letting everyone build their own tacos at the table.
