Yep, forgot last week! The lack of sleep is causing my brain not to function in the memory department! I love, love, love this next recipe & I will warn you that you need to make more salsa than what the recipe calls for because you will need to eat the leftovers. I was skeptical on this one because I'm not always a fan of sweet & savory but it was so good!
Easy Pork Tacos with Mango Salsa
1 1/2 cups chopped mango
1 small red onion chopped fine
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons lime juice
salt & pepper
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons minced canned chipotle chiles in adobo
1 1/2 pounds ground pork
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
12 (6 inch) corn tortillas-we used flour
1. Combine mango, half of onion, 1/4 cup cilantro, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, & 1/4 teaspoon pepper in bowl & set aside.
2. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Add remaining onion, chipotle, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until onion is softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in pork and cook until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
3. Off heat, stir in remaining cilantro, remaining lime juice, and cheese(we left the cheese to put on our individual tacos). Season with salt & pepper. Serve with tortillas & mango salsa.
We did grill our mangoes to soften them up & it was awesome but you don't need to. We also tried this with pineapple & it was also good but quite a bit sweeter. We also added cumin & garlic to the meat mixture. You really have to try this one!
