I am not Mexican but I love Mexican food. I think I have an obsession with Tacos (see here, here, here, here, and here). I cooked the pork using my slow cooker and it was moist and delicious.
Imagine pork shoulder, slow cooked until it falls apart and flavorful as can be. Imagine a spicy jalapeño-cilantro sauce, the flavor of red onion and queso fresco to go along with that tender pork. Now imagine it all in one amazingly flavorful bite.
These tacos are the perfect meal with a Corona beer and flan for dessert. Of course if you are listening to mariachi music it will super special, just like being in Mexico!
Buen proveho!
