Antonette's Pork Tacos (que?)


So we made pork tacos today. We used about 2.7 lbs of meat (pork, not sure what the cut was but it was good quality) just put chunks of meat in and the salsa will take care of tenderizing it, close to 1 1/2 full bottles of salsa verde sauce (safeway select makes the best salsa), and a shitton of chili pepper, half a shitload of garlic powder, and half a shitload of pepper, 1/2 an onion (cut in cubes). Put in the crockpot for 4 1/2 hours on high (idealy you'd want in on low for 10-11 hours but i had work and Cory didn't wake up early enough). Once close to done start grading cheese, cutting some raw onion, cutting some raw tomatos, and start heating up some tortillas. Cut up meat and serve as tacos.

The tacos were really mild (for our tastes, ;] ). The salsa verde and meat dominated the tastes, which was fine but i donno i like spicy food ("hope you got some hot sauce, somethin real hot"). Cork disagrees but he's a cubs fan so what can you do (Go Cubs!). You couldn't taste the pepper or garlic, but i donno if the garlic would have been that good with the salsa verde. Definately needed more pepper. The meat was really tender, cut very easily, and tasted great.

All in all great meal. We fed 4 people comfortablly and 2 with a snack. There's still 2.5 lbs of meat left too so we'll be doing this again soon.

Els on the other hand seems to think all we did was put pork in a pot. All i have to say is:

"In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is more meaningful than our criticism designating it so."

so suck my balls if you got shit to talk!

peace!
