I love tacos, maybe it’s because I’m a Tex-Mex freak, I don’t know, but me and tacos are like this.
I love trying new flavors for tacos and I have never had one with mashed plantains in it, enter the Open-Face Pork Tacos recipe in Everyday with Rachael Ray that is now one of my new favorites.
I was a little worried that two chipotles plus the adobo sauce would make this bad boy super spicy, but mixed with the sweet onions and crushed tomatoes it thickened into a delicious sauce that complemented the meat and orange juice.
The only thing I changed was instead of avocado, I made a guacamole with lime juice, cumin, salt, chile powder, salt and red pepper flakes. I smoothed the pureed plantain on the tortilla, then crunchy tortilla chips, then the guacamole topped with the saucy beef mixture. I always have to have some kind of crunch when all other textures are soft and this worked out well.
I was thinking this could easily be enjoyed as a vegetarian option too if you wanted to add in kidney or black beans instead of meat.
These look amazing! I’d definitely try it with the guac too. And thanks for thinking of us veggies!
I’m always thinking of my veggie bestie!
MMM you are the master of all things pork, so I bet these babies were delicious!
Agreed with Lehfeld – you ARE the master of all things pork!
