Honey Chipotle Pork Tacos with Caramelized Onions

I really like tacos. I believe my love for them has come from my reasonably current discovery that they don’t need to be included completely dry hamburger as well as limp iceberg lettuce; that excellent tacos use much better, fresher components and have a lot even more flavor.

I was never one to hop on the “good & & mouthwatering” train that seems to be so prominent currently, however it actually functions below considering that the sweet taste from the honey is so subtle compared to the strong, spicy, great smoky flavor of adobo chipotles, as well as supplies a much-needed comparison. Caramelized red onions provided one more source of subtle sweetness to balance all the flavor in the pork, in addition to the chipotle slaw (which I also used in my dish for fish tacos), and also the spicy bourbon beans are excellent as a side dish or best inside the tacos themselves.

Tacos are an enjoyable recipe to make due to the fact that there are a lot of feasible garnishes as well as mixes; merely mix and match up until you locate exactly what you like the ideal.
