Tuesday is Taco Tuesday's at our house. Learn how to make this delicious shredded pork tacos for dinner with Smithfield® Marinated Pork.
School is officially back in session and has been for our kids here in Colorado for the past two weeks. With driving the kids to and from school, helping with homework and doing all the other chores in-between, there really isn't much time left for myself. I also have to think about dinner and what I can do that's quick, doesn't take up too much of my time, and in turn leaves me with some time to really enjoy with the kids before it's time for bed. Tacos has always been a favorite of mine and as I mentioned, Tuesday's is generally taco night for us. With my list in hand I decided to head to my local commissary to get my ingredients.
As a retired military veteran, I love beating the rush and taking advantage of the early bird shopping. It's generally when most of the soldiers are at home after an early morning of PT and their wives or husbands are taking their kids to school, or are at work. I just love having the store to myself and taking my time through the aisles whilst looking for what I need without having to say "excuse me". My husband has been saying that we needed to change up our recipes and do "something different" every once in a while. So instead of the regular beef or chicken tacos, I decided that we were going to pork instead. However, I had no idea what to expect in the pork department, and was I surprised. There
Tacos taste better thank burritos. Sure, burritos have more condiments and are much bigger in size, but tacos are much easier to eat. Even though tacos are smaller, their taste is splendid. Their small size makes them a quick and delicious lunch or dinner. From carne asada to chicken tacos, the meat toppings are a bit more healthy. Unlike burritos that have flower tortillas and are chewy and fattening, tacos will do the trick. Because of the adequate size and the variety of meat choices on a corn tortilla, this small but tasty cuisine is much better than burritos.
Living on Earth can be expensive, but it does include free trips around the sun, not to mention free oxygen. Many things aren’t free to people which is why my mom prompted me to get a job. She got tired of investing her hard-earned money on my lavish needs. My first real job was a cashier for Chick-fil-A, in a food court at a local mall. Chick-fill-A is often merited for their service and food, but is still considered fast-food. As much as I dreaded working in fast food, it taught a considerable number of life lessons. Most importantly, Working at Chick-fil-A not only allowed me to understand personal self-growth through circumstances, but to value it.

When first beginning this assignment, I thought of choosing Vietnamese food because I miss having Vietnamese food for most of my meals, which was a luxury when I lived at home with my parents. Also, I have not fully prepared a Vietnamese dish or meal myself, as cooking never appealed to me. However, as I thought more about it, I would just be returning to the comforts of what I had already known instead of challenging myself and expanding my experiences. Eventually, I decided to pursue learning more about the Hispanic food culture because I greatly enjoy Hispanic food, whether it is Americanized Hispanic foods such as burritos or enchiladas from restaurants like Taco Bell or La Paz, or traditional, authentic foods I have had at my Hispanic friends’ houses. I love exploring the infinite variety of ethnic dishes this world has to offer, but I do not pay much attention exactly to what I am eating, what is in it, and how to prepare it myself. This assignment gave me the opportunity to go out and adventure into Guerrero’s Market on 11th and G street. I brought David with me, a friend from Honduras who has exposed me to most of the authentic hispanic foods I have eaten. I decided to make ceviche, and the two ethnic ingredients not used in mainstream American cuisine I selected were avocados and tostadas.

Even though I have given up eating pork over 5 years ago, I can attest that barbecued pork steaks and Toasted Ravioli are delicious. Pork steaks are simply cut from a different area than pork chops. They are more fatty and are usually prepared on the grill and then simmered with your favorite sauce for an hour or two, then served with choice of sides, usually potato salad, grilled corn on the cob
Mexican cuisine is a style of food that originates in Mexico. It is known for its varied flavors, colorful decoration, and variety of spices and ingredients, many of which are native to the country. What makes a meal distinctly Mexican, of course, are the lively seasonings. Not all Mexican recipes are fiery, though; while renowned for their heat, many subtle and intriguing spice combinations are also found in Mexican fare.
My most recent experience was a Tuesday night, after practice, when I had not eaten all day. Although it is a 25 minute drive to the closest Chipotle from Edinboro, the trip is always worth it. As I walked in, the place was packed. A sign said “Maximum Occupancy: 75,” and this crowd was definitely pushing it. I waited patiently in the long line with one of my friends who is also a Chipotle connoisseur. We finally reached the front and the friendly staff asked which type of bread I wanted. I chose a chicken burrito with white rice and no beans. The boy scooped up a hefty helping of chicken and rice and dropped it on my burrito. He then passed it down the line to the next worker where I chose mild salsa and sour cream. The next step, I got cheese and lettuce, and then they wrapped up my burrito in foil. The entire thing costed $6.95 after I chose to get a free water

My favorite food is chicken fettuccini pasta. I prefer this dish because of the great taste. It consists of a magnificent sauce, tender chicken, and mixed vegetables. This blend of ingredients contributes the flavor, texture, and appearances of the pasta.
