Method
- Juice the orange and mix it with half the lime juice, the crushed garlic, paprika, cumin, oregano and a pinch of salt. Add the pork tenderloin, turn it well, cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
- Heat a conventional oven to 160 °C. Place the meat with all its marinade in the centre of a large sheet of baking paper, seal it into a tight parcel and put it in an ovenproof dish.
- Cook for 1 hour 30 minutes, until the meat is very tender and shreds with a fork; open the parcel and shred it straight into its juices.
- Meanwhile slice the red onion paper-thin and put it in a small bowl with the cider vinegar, the remaining lime and a pinch of salt; leave it until pink and soft.
- Warm the drained black beans with a splash of water and a pinch of salt for 3 minutes, and the tortillas in a dry frying pan for 20–30 seconds per side.
- Serve the pork in the tortillas with the beans and pickled onion.
