Oh heyy...

Yeah, you know how I said on July 3rd there was going to be this bigass party where I'll post recipes and/or pictures of catering food for my aunt's wedding?

Yeah, that never happened.

instead there was a party for my grandpa's birthday (my grandpa who died about a couple weeks before said party was to occur~yeah, I have no idea why, i think it has something to do with Filipino culture? I really don't know) and there was just a lot of food that we got from Sam's Club because we didn't have enough time to cook a lot. I made a bullshit Bouillabaisse that was really just me putting shit together in a pot. Everyone raved about it. What bullcrap. And yeah. So I really don't have recipes or photos from that excursion. But I did end up cooking today.

I made tacos! I love Tacos. Tacos are very good...



Whoa, sorry there, i was just drooling. But yeah, it was really easy to make also.

::::::::YUMMY NUMMY SHREDDED PORK TACOS::::::::

(Picture from teh interwebz- Pretty much looked like this)

::INGREDIENTS::
-leftover shredded pork (just cook your pork over medium heat with liquid and garlic salt)
-fresh salsa of your choice
>tomatoes, fresh jalapenos, onions, cilantro+salt and pepper to taste was what I used
-Hot sauce (I used tapatio)
-lettuce
-cheddar cheese
-water or stock/broth of choice
-vegetable oil
-tortillas of choice (I prefer corn, but I only had flour :c)

::PROCEDURE::
~~Set stovetop to medium heat and drizzle oil around a saute pan to coat.~~
1. Place 2 loosely packed cups of shredded pork in the saute pan and brown slightly for a couple minutes, until oil is all soaked up.
2. Add about 4 oz. (1/2 cup) of water or stock/broth of choice to the saute pan and 4 oz. of salsa.
3. Stir to combine and cook for 2 minutes.
4. While that's going on, bring about 4 oz. of oil to another saute pan until it starts to bubble/smoke under high heat.
5. Fry your tortillas to the shape of a taco shell
- place tortilla in saute pan, and hold half of the tortilla out of the oil with tongs.
- when the first half of the tortilla is fried, fry the other half side
- When tortilla is done, drain on paper towel and sprinkle with salt
- repeat process with another tortilla
6. Add hot sauce to your liking (I like a lot of heat, so I added bout 20+ splashes of sauce) to your pork mixture and cook until liquid evaporates (but still keeps pork moist).
7. Grab your taco shells, fill with your pork mixture, shredded lettuce, and the cheese.
8. Bask in the presence of food glory, and dig in.

Experience the food-gasm as you enjoy your home-made, authentic pork tacos.
