Pork 'n' Pepper Tacos image

As a Texas native, I prefer spicy food. But since my husband and I both work nights (I'm a nurse), I also need quick dishes like this. I've taken it to parties at work, too, and most tasters enjoy it - with an icy cold soda in most cases! -Jacquie Baldwin, Raleigh, North Carolina

These tacos were a great way to use up leftover pork. I also added some corn and black beans to the filling.

I'm not a fan of spicy food, but these tacos were still really good. The pork was tender and the peppers and sauce were flavorful.

I made a few changes to the recipe, but the tacos were still delicious. I used ground turkey instead of pork and added some black beans. Yum!
