Pulled Pork Tacos with Black Bean Salsa

We're feeling like it's time for tacos. We haven't posted any recipes for tacos yet, so it's obviously time. We decided to go with something a little less traditional by making tacos with pulled pork instead of ground beef. We also had to have a good side so beans were a perfect option. Let's dive in!


Pulled Pork Tacos with Black Bean Salsa
Total Time: 30 minutes
Generously serves a family of 4

Ingredients:

  • 2 Limes
  • 1 Red Onion
  • 1 Jalapeno
  • 2 Roma Tomatoes
  • 3 Tbsp Southwest Spice Blend
  • 1 1/2 lbs of Fully Cooked Pulled Pork
  • 2- 15oz cans of Black Beans
  • 12 Small Flour Tortillas
  • 4 oz of Sour Cream (about 8 tbsp)
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • Olive Oil
Directions

  1. Wash and dry all of the produce. Cut one lime in half and cut the other lime into wedges. Dice the onion. Mince the jalapeno (toss the ribs and seeds). Dice the tomatoes.
  2. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add half of your diced onion and half of the jalapeno. Toss until they are slightly soft, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add the pulled pork to the pan with the onions and jalapenos. Break up the meat and add 1-2 tbsp of southwest spice blend and 1/4c - 1/2c of water. Cook and stir until everything is combined and warmed up. This will take about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Drain and rinse the black beans and place in a medium bowl with the tomatoes and the last of the onion and jalapeno. Squeeze in juice from both lime halves. Season generously with salt and pepper. Mix well.
  5. In a small bowl add the sour cream and 1 tbsp of the Southwest Spice blend and mix well.
  6. Warm up the tortillas.
  7. Divide the pulled pork between the tortillas and sprinkle with the shredded cheddar cheese. Add three (3) tacos to each plate and serve with the black bean salsa on the side. Add a dollop of sour cream and a lime wedge to each plate.
Enjoy!

Valentine Paper Heart Door Decorations

Here is a great way to show love to your children for the month of February. I started doing this last year for my son and he enjoyed every minute of it. He liked it so much that every day he would be excited to see what I had written down. What am I talking about? Well, let me tell you... Valentine's Paper Heart Door Decorations! All I did was cut out these cute red, pink, white, etc. paper hearts and wrote down one thing that I love about my son. Then each day I would tape one paper heart to his bedroom door for him to see. By Valentine's Day, he had 14 of these awesome hearts on his door showing him some of the things that I love about him. Since my daughter is a little bit older this year, she's only one- haha, I thought about doing this for her as well. This way, both of them can be excited about seeing some of the things I love about them the most. All you need to do is find colored construction paper and cut out 14 hearts- one heart for each day of February un...

Gray Shirt with Black Leggings

There is nothing more comfortable than wearing a loose shirt with leggings. Am I right? I always struggle deciding if I want to wear something casual or a little more dressed up. Yes, it's easier to wear more casual outfits than outfits that are dressy, but I love comfy clothes more. Who doesn't? Now, don't get me wrong, I love experimenting with dressy outfits too. You'll see some of those soon enough. This week, however, I'm going with an outfit that is easy, but SO cute. So here it is, my Sunday Comfy Casual Outfit. I just got this gray shirt from Kohls last weekend and I love it! It has a loose fit so it is very comfortable. You can find it  here . The black leggings are one of my favorites.
