The pork remained very tender and I like how the spices colored it golden. And what can go wrong which cannot be fixed with homemade guacamole? Thanks! Might also be tasty to substitute tilapia, halibut, or shrimp for the pork. This recipe was great! The pork remained very tender and I like how the spices colored it golden.

I find it's either moist and delectable, or tough and actually tastes like a pig smells. My father always said when you tasted funky, pig-smelling pork, it was because the meat came from an old boar. Whether that's true or not I have no idea, but I'm so mortified of getting a hold of pork that tastes like "old boar meat"...that I rarely cook it. That said, these pork tacos sound & look delicious, which may be just enough for me to give pork another chance. I have a love/hate relationship with pork.

If you can get your hands on some of that, you'll be amazed. It's nothing close to the dry stuff that we have in most supermarkets and ooooooh so good. Heirloom pork is more expensive than the regular variety, but I figure you're paying for much better taste and for the animals to be raised and butchered humanely, so it's worth it.

But for whatever reason... lately I've developed a healthy relationship with the pig. I also happen to believe that tacos are the food of the gods so this dish... yeah... I'm on it.

But for some reason, I have to have my ham every now and then, along with bacon. I don't really think it counts if you saute some bacon with butter and use that as a base for almost all your dishes. especially if your bacons bits amount to less than a couple of tablespoons... haha at least thats what I tell myself :) I normally get grossed out with anything that isn’t chicken or fish, and pork is one of those meats that I stopped eating (along with beef) after I read a few too-revealing books.
