Comments:

(Again, here is another recipe from our blog.) I think most everyone in the family has had this at our house. . .except the NY Blanchards? Anyway, I honestly really like it even more than the Cafe Rio pork. . .a bit more spiciness and flavor. It's wonderful in burritos, salads, quesadillas, and rice bowls. It's not complete without the Cilantro Lime Rice and Creamy Tomatillo Salad Dressing (also posted).
