Pulled Pork with Smoked Paprika Lime Oil
Bring the flavors of Mexico into your kitchen. This easy-to-make dish of tender pork over warmed tortillas is topped with a citrus oil of smoked paprika, lime and garlic and finished with a sprinkling of pungent cilantro. Canola oil does double duty here: its high heat tolerance is perfect for browning the pork and its neutral taste lets the flavors of other ingredients shine.
