Lynn's Braised Pork Soft Tortilla

 

1 onion minced
1 jalapeņo pepper chopped
1/4 cup cilantro stems removed
1 lime juice
1 ripe tomato diced
2 tsp. salt
1/4 lb. pork loin
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1/4 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
1 cup beer
12 Soft Taco-Sized Flour Tortillas
guacamole or salsa, as desired


1. Combine minced onion, jalapeņo, cilantro, lime juice and dices tomatoes. Add 1/2 of the salt and 1/2 of the pepper and chill.
2. Cut pork into 1/2 inch thick slices. Heat oil in large skillet on High heat. Cook pork until golden brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat. Stir in cumin, cayenne pepper, vinegar and beer. Simmer until almost all of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
3. Warm tortillas. Divide guacamole among tortillas and spread to an even thickness. Divide pork among tortillas and top each with salsa and sour cream. Roll up the tortillas and serve immediately.

A timid person is frightened before a danger, a coward during the time, and a courageous person afterward.
