Recipe By Slurrp

Mesquite grilled pork tacos are a delicious and flavorful Mexican dish. The pork is marinated in a smoky and tangy mesquite marinade, then grilled to perfection. The grilled pork is then sliced and served in warm tortillas, topped with fresh salsa, guacamole, and a squeeze of lime. These tacos are perfect for a summer barbecue or a casual weeknight dinner. The smoky flavor of the mesquite pairs perfectly with the tender and juicy pork, creating a mouthwatering combination.
