Pork Tacos


M. and I had one portion of shredded roast pork left from our wedding in the freezer and when I suggested tacos last night, he suggested using the pork. Add some onions, jalapenos, one spicy pepper which we don't know the name(a brown we one thought was sweet, but was obviously not), water and some spicy taco seasoning and let it simmer for an hour or so and we had a luscious pork feast which tasted a little like "carnitas" from Chipotle.

We put the meat in a crunchy taco shell with freshly shredded romaine lettuce, a chopped heirloom tomato, cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream. I also made some spicy rice. Just regular rice with a good glop of salsa, some habenero sauce and Mexican blend corn (corn with peppers) all mixed up. Topped the whole shebang off with a glass of Sangria. Delicious.

Sometimes I wish we either followed a recipe or wrote down more detailed measurements of what we put into our cooking so we could replicate it at another time. This is one of those moments. This was so good I'd eat it every week if we could.
