For an even richer flavor, consider searing the pork shoulder in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Adjust the amount of jalapenos based on your preferred spice level. Removing the seeds and membranes from the jalapenos will reduce the heat. If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can substitute 1 tablespoon of dried cilantro, but the fresh cilantro adds a bright, vibrant flavor. Serve with warm tortillas, rice, or your favorite sides for a complete and satisfying meal. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
