Instructions
Prep
Toss 440g sliced pork shoulder with 2 tsp cumin, 2 tsp oregano, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tsp oil, 1.5 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp pepper. Rest 10 minutes. Blend 240g tomato, 2 chipotle chiles in adobo, 2 tsp adobo sauce, 1 garlic clove, and 0.5 tsp salt until loose and thick.
Sear
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat 1 minute. Add marinated pork in a single layer (work in batches if needed to avoid crowding), sear 3 minutes per side until edges caramelize deeply and marinade darkens. Visual cue: deep brown crust forms.
Finish
Reduce heat to medium, toss pork 2–3 minutes until remaining liquid evaporates and meat turns glossy. While pork finishes, warm 4 small pita breads directly over gas flame or in a dry skillet 30 seconds per side until pliable and lightly toasted.
Plate
Finely chop seared pork on a board. Divide between warm pitas, spoon chipotle salsa over, top with chopped parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.
