Taco Tuesday: Smoky Pork Tinga Tacos

February 5, 2013 by Jaida Leave a Comment

I’m beginning to think that Mother Nature is playing a cruel joke on me. It’s been getting up to the high-70s all week, with the sun shining brightly – in the beginning of February. This is not normal, and I keep waiting for the cold winds to whip back around and remind me that it’s still winter. Blah.
But, in the mean time, I’m enoying using my crockpot and making food and adult beverages that make me think that summer is already here.  You know, like those delicious Pomegranate Margaritas from the other day? And, what goes better with delicious margaritas than Mexican food??? Not much, my friends. Not much at all.
And, like the Tinga Poblano Chicken Tacos , these really hit the spot. Just a little bit of spice from the chipotle peppers and sauce and topped with creamy avocado and queso fresco. And of course, this recipe (as with most crockpot recipes) makes a enough for a small army so be prepared to share!!!

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
