More Tacos - Quick & Delicious

I’ve been on a roll lately fixing tacos (see Tacos Extraordinaire post). Tonight I came up with a winning and very easy taco filling and have found some tantalizing new tortillas.

Fred Meyer is selling a delicious tortilla hybrid, a blend of corn and wheat. They are La Tortilla Factory Hand Made Style Corn Tortillas. They give you a corn tortilla taste with a texture of a flour tortilla and they are yummy.

Trader Joes sells chunks of ready-cooked pork called Carnitas that we love and keep on hand. For tacos tonight I fried up a package of it with onion, green pepper and some Mexican seasoning. Wow, a great taste.

Fast & Easy Pork Tacos

Ingredients:
1 package Trader Joes Pork Carnitas
1 med. sweet onion
1 green bell pepper
2 teaspoons Mexican Seasoning
Tortillas

Instructions:
Chop the onion and green pepper and fry in some oil until nearly caramelized. Stir in Mexican seasonings. Roughly cut up the pork and add to the seasoned onion and pepper; heat through.

Fry or microwave the tortillas and top with meat filling, fresh cilantro leaves, salsa and some sour cream.

(I even had some filling, cilantro, salsa and sour cream with out a tortilla and it was yummy.)
