“Pulled pork” can only be achieved when the meat reaches a specific temperature. It has to be between 195-205 F in order for it to become fall apart tender – then it can easily be shredded between two forks! Pretty wild!

How do I make it?
In a large skillet heat oil on medium. Add pulled pork in a single layer and let it crisp up for a minute or two. Next, push the pork to the side of the pan and toss in onion and garlic. When the garlic is fragrant, mix everything together.
Add in spices, diced tomato, and hashbrowns. Mix well to combine, push everything flat in the pan to get as even of a layer as possible. Cover and cook several minutes.
Now flip, spray everything with cooking spray, cover and cook another minute.
Turn heat to low, create 4 wells in the hashbrowns for the eggs, spray with cooking spray again. Crack 4 eggs into the wells, sprinkle a touch of salt and pepper on the eggs, cover and cook a few minutes more.
When egg whites have set remove from heat, sprinkle on shredded cheddar and cover until cheese melts.
Garnish with cilantro and serve! Enjoy!
