Pita-Wrapped, Cumin-Marinated-Pork Tacos Recipe

Recipe By Serious Eats

Tacos rabes, a pueblan specialty with middle eastern influence, feature juicy cumin-marinated pork in a warm pita-bread wrapper. This at-home recipe re-creates the spit-roasted flavor in the oven and on the stovetop. Splashes of spicy hot chipotle salsa and cooling garlic-yogurt sauce are the perfect complementary condiments.
