Pulled Pork Tacos with Cherry Salsa
Jalapenos are the most popular chile peppers in the US. This is probably due to the availability and versatility of the chile. Jalapenos have a balanced combination of flavor and heat.
The demand for these have caused breeders to develop a broad range of varieties. You can now get jalapenos with various heat level and sizes. These can be used in salsas, stuffed, or eaten straight with cheeseburgers (my personal favorite).
Ingredients:
For the salsa:
1 cup tomatoes, chopped and seeded (about 1/2 lb)
1 cup chopped cherries (about 1/2 lb)
1/4 cup chopped red onion
Small handful of cilantro, chopped
Juice of 1/2 lime
1 jalapeno, chopped
Salt
Pepper
For serving:
Leftover pulled pork
Tortillas
Crumbled Queso Fresco
Instructions:
Toss the salsa ingredients in a medium bowl until well mixed. Salt & pepper to taste and then set aside.
Assemble the tacos: pile reheated pulled pork on tortillas, topped with a generous scoop of salsa and crumbled queso fresco.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge a couple of days but it’s ideal to eat it the day it’s made before refrigeration (you know how tomatoes get in the fridge).
Yields: ~2 1/2 cups
