Voiceover. Set out a scale and the equipment for Cochinita pibil. Heat to 425°F / 218°C and give it 5 minutes so the surface is actually hot. Weigh pork tenderloin, orange juice, smoked paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, garlic, red onion, lime juice, kosher salt, olive oil. Cochinita pibil is cooked in Yucatan as its own plate, not as a copy of a restaurant menu. Rub the pork with orange, paprika, and oregano and roast it until it pulls apart. Achiote and a banana leaf are the Yucatan habit. Paprika tints the meat, and the oven stands in for the pit. Amounts are for 4 from foods this library can count.
