Green Chili Pork Tacos

Before we talk about these beauty green chili pork tacos, lets taco about my current situation.

Green Chili Pork Tacos- The Seasonal Junkie

So, I found out on Tuesday last week I would be invited by my friend, Ciara, to Thailand. On a 16 day trip. With 6 days notice. Not only have I never traveled out of the country before, but I am a big chicken. So people, believe me when I say this, I am making strides. BIG STRIDES. So here I am, two hours away to landing and so excited to experience it all. The food, the culture, and the beaches. BTW: currently sitting next to these English guys who after I told them my age, said “Oh wow, you’re an oldie!” Keep in mind, I am only 28. So that was sweet of them haha!

I definitely am going to be doing a few blog posts a little different than my typical posts. I’m thinking a little bit of Anthony Bourdaine style.

But enough about that, more about these green chili pork tacos- Am I right?!

Another taco recipe

I have been meaning to post these little green chili pork tacos for 3 weeks now. The first week, I ended leaving out the pickled onions by accident (which are one of the top three reasons these green chili pork tacos are AMAZING) and then last week, well you know.. the whole Thailand bomb was dropped.

But all good things come to those who wait, I suppose.

Lastly, these pickled onions really make these green chili pork tacos.

I’m serious. I will post a recipe in the future it you all are interested.

The great thing about these green chili pork tacos is that you can slow cook the pork and use it in other meal prep for the rest of the week. And your house will smell like all sorts of yumminess in the process.
