BLUE CORN CUBAN TACO
Steps:
- Whisk together 3 tablespoons of the oil, orange juice, garlic and oregano in a baking dish, add the pork and turn to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
- Heat the grill to high or a nonstick saute pan with a few tablespoons of canola oil over medium-high heat on the stove.
- Remove the pork from the marinade and place on the grill. Grill until golden brown and slightly charred and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers 150 degrees F, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the grill and let rest 5 minutes before slicing into 1/4-inch thick slices.
- Reduce the heat of the grill to medium. Place the tortillas on the grill and grill for approximately 10 seconds per side to make pliable. Lay the tortillas on a flat surface. Divide the ingredients evenly over 1 half of each tortilla. Start with 1 slice of the cheese, followed by the ham then a few slices of the pork, a few slices of the jalapenos and another slice of the cheese. Fold the top of the tortilla over the ingredients and press on it. Brush the tops of the tortillas with some of the remaining oil and place on the grill, oil-side down and grill until lightly golden brown, pressing on the tortillas to flatten, 3 to 4 minutes. Brush the tops of the tortillas with oil, flip over and continue grilling, pressing down on the tortillas until golden brown and the cheese has melted.
MEL'S CUBAN STREET TACOS
This is from Mel's Kitchen Cafe website, and man, I never thought I would enjoy a meal more than my pressure cooker carnitas, but this one is just so freaking good. It is now a staple on my menu, thanks Mel! This tastes excellent with Turkey for stewing as well (just omit step 1 in the directions if you use Turkey)

Steps:
- 1.Rub the pieces of pork all over with salt. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- 2.Heat oil in a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, until the oil is shimmering and hot. Add the pork and sear each piece on all sides, working in batches, if needed. Once browned, remove the pork to the slow cooker. Into the same pot used to sear the pork, pour in the water and chicken stock, scraping the bottom of the pan with a flat-edged spatula or wooden spoon to get up all the delicious brown bits from the bottom. Add pepper, cumin, chili powder, oregano, bay leaves, garlic, jalapenos, onion, lime juice, orange juice and orange rinds and bring to a simmer. Pour the mixture over the pork in the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours, until the pork is very tender.
- 3.Remove the bay leaves, onion and orange rinds from the pot and discard. Remove the pork and place in a bowl and set aside. Pour the liquid from the slow cooker into a pot on the stove and over high heat, bring the mixture to a boil. Let the mixture boil until it reduces to about 1 cup and is thickened slightly, about 10 -15 minutes.
- 4.Shred the pork and place on a large patter. Spoon the sauce over the pork. Serve in tortillas garnished with onions, cilantro, cheese, sour cream, avocado and additional lime wedges, if desired.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the pork: Using a sharp knife, score the top of the pork in a criss-cross pattern. Rub with 1½ teaspoons salt and 1½ teaspoons pepper, then set in a large baking dish.
- Make the glaze: Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Whisk in the brown sugar, 2 teaspoons salt, ½ teaspoon pepper, the cumin, smoked paprika, and chili powder. Add the Captain Morgan® Sliced Apple Spiced Rum and whisk until combined. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 6-8 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened slightly and has the consistency of pancake syrup.
- Remove 5 tablespoons of the glaze and set aside.
- Use a basting brush and some of the remaining glaze to coat the pork in a thick layer of glaze.
- Place the pork in the oven and roast, basting again with more glaze halfway through, for 65-75 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
- While the pork roasts, make the spicy mustard sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mustard, mayonnaise, olive oil, white wine vinegar, and cayenne until smooth.
- Remove the pork from the oven, then pour the reserved glaze over and spread evenly. Let the pork rest for 5 minutes.
- Cut the pork into ½-inch (1.24 cm) slices, then chop into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces. Keep warm until ready to serve.
- To assemble the tacos, sprinkle ¼ cup (25 g) shredded Swiss cheese onto a warm tortilla. Layer with about ½ ounce deli ham, about 2 ounces of roasted pork, 3-4 pickle slices, and a drizzle of spicy mustard sauce. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
- Enjoy!

AUTHENTIC BAJA-MEXICAN STREET TACOS (CARNE ASADA)
On weekend getaways from San Diego to the beaches in Ensenada and Rosarito (Baja California), I found my favorite meal in the delicious soft skirt steak tacos sold by the taqueria street vendors. This recipe tastes exactly how I remember them - without having to make the trip across the border. Muy bueno! Top with some freshly squeezed lime juice and spicy salsa if you like.

Steps:
- Combine orange juice, 2 tablespoons cilantro, lime juice, garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, and cayenne in a large freezer bag. Submerge skirt steaks in the marinade. Seal the bag, squeezing out as much air as possible. Refrigerate, 1 to 8 hours.
- Preheat a grill to medium-high. Grill the steaks until hot and firm in the center or to your preferred doneness, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Transfer steaks to a flat work surface and slice as thinly as possible against the grain.
- Heat corn tortillas on the grill or in a microwave. Keep tortillas warm in a folded sheet of aluminum foil covered by a thick towel.
- Add steak to each tortilla and top with white onion and cilantro.
