I have always been a huge taco fan. I could eat tacos at every meal. This is probably because I adore tortillas and Mexican flavors, but also because nothing beats holding your food in your hands and get a little bit messy!
There is nothing better than a well made and filling taco that can satisfy your taste and is easy to make. This taco combines marinade - grilled pork chop strips, mango, and avocado salsa.
Buen provecho!

That salsa looks awesome, but I have to admit...you had me at pork chop strips.
