This sounds like a great substitute for the regular beef tacos but I am going to try it just using ground pork, just browning and draining it.

I used a boneless pork shoulder roast and it turned out super moist and delicious.

Using scented candles and "plugins" are 2 of my favorite ways to liven up the atmosphere in my home. After hanging out with this recipe all day, now I have a 3rd! The simplicity of browning, adding and walking away sure made for a unique mouthwatering aromatic. As I type, I haven't even eaten yet, but when you cook as much as I do, "you know from the nose" that dinner is ON!!! Too bad Super Bowl has past, this would have had everyone cheering no matter which team was winning!
