Pork in Salsa Verde Tacos
Pork in Salsa Verde Tacos
These Pork in Salsa Verde Tacos are inspired by the Mexican stews known as “Guisados” or “Guisos”. There isn’t just one recipe for guisados, but they mainly consist of a protein (chicken or beef most commonly) that is cooked slowly in a pot and combined with a flavoursome sauce and vegetables making it the perfect one pot meal. The sauces used can be tomatillo based or made with dried Mexican chilies that are prepared into a paste which is then cooked with the meat, vegetables and perhaps a bit of stock.
Every family has their own recipes and variations of this meal and something from what their “abuelitas”, “grandmas” or certain “aunties” are known for.
This is perfect for sharing in the middle of the table and to have everyone helping themselves to make their own tacos with warm soft tortillas, or also just served with a bit of mexican rice and freshly made beans on the side.
Our guisado is made using pork shoulder cooked with fried onions, potatoes and seasoned with our Gran Luchito Medium Taco Seasoning, then covered and simmered in our delicious Gran Luchito Tomatillo Salsa, finished with freshly chopped coriander and served with Gran Luchito Soft Taco Wraps.
A favourite recipe of our family and friends, we hope that your family will love it too!

FAQ'S
Does salsa verde go with pork?
The combination of the pork, creamy beans and punchy salsa verde is a winning dish.
How does salsa verde taste?
What does salsa verde taste like? At its core, salsa verde is tart, tangy, and zesty with a bright, refreshing taste.
How do you tone down salsa?
To tone down salsa, you can add more tomatoes or other ingredients such as onions, bell peppers, or corn to dilute the heat.
