Chipotle Mojo Pork Tacos Recipe

Recipe By Lake Geneva Country Meats

This recipe is a fun combination of flavors from cuba & mexico put together into one delicious taco dish. For this dish, we wanted a summery taco that had a bit of spiciness balanced off by a hint of sweetness. To accomplish that flavor combination, we came up with this recipe. The first part of the recipe is the chipotle part. Chipotle peppers are a smoke dried jalapeo pepper, that bring both heat and smokiness to food. These versatile peppers are one of the staples of numerous mexican cuisines, and are easy to acquire in canned form. They're awesome, and you may have some in your kitchen right now. The second part of this recipe is a braising liquid based on a cuban-style mojo sauce. Cuban mojo sauces are a delicious combination of citrus, oil, garlic, and more. Usually made as a sauce, and then served on top of cooked meat, we think that it also makes a great braising sauce for this recipe. The sauce contributes bright tropical flavors, as well as a touch of sweetness, and we think the sauce is a wonderful balance to the spicy, smoky flavors of the chipotle peppers. We assemble this taco with corn, black beans, red onion, cilantro, queso fresco, and lime wedges for a filling, and delicious taco. What do you think of this taco? Do you enjoy the flavor combination? Did you make any changes to the recipe or how the taco is assembled? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below
