I never made better pork in my entire life. Tender, well seasoned very tasty dish. I went with a pork loin, cooked for the same time. Needed tbl butter, tbl EVOO ... perfect!!

I have made these at least 6 times since seeing the recipe in the Spring, they really are that good! The recipe itself is so simple but the taste is amazing. Corn tortillas are a must, flour just doesn't complement the crispy pork pieces the way the corn does. We also add avocado, cheddar cheese and sour cream, in addition to the onions and I serve with a side of Cilantro rice from this site.
This recipe is a staple in my house this summer!
