Great recipe! These were a big hit at a party we had last weekend. We spiced it up a bit by using more peppers and some seeds to get some heat in both the pork and salsa :-

I served this to a dinner guest and my husband for the first time last Friday night and I was very disappointed. Very little flavor to the meat. Lots of work and ingredients for such a dismal outcome.

PASILLA:
Also known as the chile negro. Literally "little raisin," the pasilla is a dried
chilaca chile. There is some confusion over the name of this chile in
California and northern Mexico, the fresh poblano and its dried forms, the
ancho and mulato, are referred to (mistakenly as pasillas.

ANCHO:
The ancho is a dried poblano chile, and is the most commonly used dried chile
in Mexico.

Sorry Tyler. This used to be the recipe I'd always use for my pork tacos, but I just found a new recipe that's easier, cheaper, and tastier. Give it a try...

My family loved this new recipe...it's a better flavor, and soooo much easier.

Tired of Tacos shops and Mexican Resturants, so I tried this recipe and OMG! these tacos are super delicious and my huband and kids just loved them.
This recipe will remain in my household.
Very easy to make and worth all the prep and 2 hour wait.

Easy to make although the chilies were hard to find. It was absolutely delicious - this recipe vastly exceeded my expectations. And it probably cost $15 to make.

ok so i don't follow the recipe, but i use it for inspiration and it always comes out fantastic.

i do not use the tomatoes or the red peppers. i also leave out the thyme. i use, instead, a can of fire roasted green chilies. and i combine everything in a slow cooker in the morning and by dinner its falling apart and totally tender.

the key ingredients here are the dried chilies, the green chilies, cumin and the citrus.

I have 2 issues/adjustments to this recipe. 1. Dried Chipotles. I have a wonderful Mexican grocer in town and they dont carry them. I have never seen dried chipotles in any grocery store, and when I found out that El Rey didn't have them, I realized that I needed to make an adjustment. I used canned chipotles and rinsed them thoroughly in order to remove all the adobo.

The second point is more crucial. 1 1/2 hrs to braise a pork shoulder? I do a lot of pulled pork, so I have braised my fair share. 1 1/2 hrs is not even close to the time it normally takes to produce fall-apart pork. It is more like 2 1/2 to 3 hrs. Sure, you could remove the pork after 1 1/2 hrs, but you would have to use a knife to cut it up and it would maintain some chewiness.

This recipe was fantastic with the proper cooking time.

this is such a delicious taco recipe. I cook for a family and this is the one recipe they always request. I serve it with several toppings that all can pick and choose from, and with Tyler's simple salsa (ultimate beef tacos.
