    Pork Tacos with Mango and Avocado SalsaPin


    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.

      Perfect combination of flavors for me -- and a squeeze of lime takes it the next level.

      Reminds me of Tacos al Pastor which are my one and only favorite. They are made with pineapples. Now I have a second favorite. Yummy!
