Sweet Pork Tacos with Cilantro Lime Slaw

I found this recipe on the crafty blog, Make it and Love it. And I made it and I LOVED it! lol I wish I could eat it everyday! Shaun said it is so good that it competes with Cafe Rio Pork Salad! What!?

Cilantro Lime Slaw
1/2 of a head (about) of red cabbage or 1 pkg coleslaw
1 c. Mayonnaise
1 c. Cilantro, chopped
1 tsp. minced Garlic
1/4 tsp. Cayenne Pepper or a dash of your favorite hot sauce
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. Lime Juice
1/2 tsp. Cumin

Chop and combine all but cabbage. Mix desired amount of dressing with slaw mix no more than 30 minutes before serving.

Roasted Sweet Pork mmmmm mmmmMMM good.
6 (approx) pounds Pork butt/shoulder
1 19 oz. can Red Enchilada Sauce
20 oz Dr. Pepper
2 tsp. Chili Powder
1 tsp. Cumin
1 tsp. salt
1 Clove Garlic or 1 tsp. Garlic Powder
1 1/2 c. Brown Sugar
1/2 onion, chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Combine all ingredients into your crock pot and cook on low for over night or until meat is tender. (I cooked mine on low for 4 hours and turned it to high for 3 hours)

Place the meat on top of a grilled corn tortilla (or just a plain flour tortilla would be good too) and then the slaw on top of that. Fold in half and take your first mouth-watering bite! Then accept all the compliments on one amazing meal. ;)

Weight Watchers Points:
Slaw= .5 points for 1/18 serving
Pork = 6 points for 1/18 serving
Corn Tortilla = 1 pt for 1 tortilla

I foresee the points for this needing to be recalculated depending on how much pork you use so for future reference, we figured that you can get about 18 servings from this. (servings are small because the tortillas are small, you'll probably want two ...or more!.) For the total recipe, the Slaw is 8.5 points for the Fat-Free Miracle Whip and everything else is free. The Pork is 105 broken down this way: 23 points for 1 lb of pork loin with fat. (We used 3 lbs to get a total of 69.5 points.) 5 points for enchilada sauce, 5 points for Dr. Pepper, 24 points for brown sugar, 1.5 points for the onion, and everything else is free.

Coriander-Pepper Pork Chops, Plus Pics

What sounds grosser, a pork chop or a pork loin?

Oops, we ate it too fast and forgot a picture of the real meal! but, these fabulous people liked it pretty well. :) That other seat is pulled out for you, Brig and Adam.


Okay, here we go... This is one of my favorite recipes!
Prep Time: 10 minutes then marinate for at least 30 minutes
Cook Time: 9 minutes or so
Ingredients:
3 Tablespoons soy sauce
1 Tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 Tablespoon packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground coriander or 1 Tablespoon coriander seeds, crushed.
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
4 (about 1 and 1/2 pounds total) 3/4-inch-thick boneless pork loin chops

Directions:
Combine soy sauce, pepper, sugar, coriander, and garlic in a large bowl; add pork. Cover; marinate in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (but longer would be better). Drain; discard marinade.

3 ways to cook:
Broil - Place on rack of broiler pan. Broil 3 to 4 inches from heat, turning once, for 9 to 12 minutes or until pork is no longer pink in center. WATCH closely, mine catch on fire a lot when I do it this way.
OR
George Foreman - gotta love that guy.
OR
Bake - on a cookie sheet at like 350 or something until they are not pink inside anymore.

Then open the windows or something because this dinner usually makes my house smell yummy for days.
