Victoria's Shredded Pork & Avocado Tacos

These Shredded Pork & Avocado Tacos are both low in fat and super fast to make.  When I cook all weekend I like to make a quickie Monday dinner.  If you would like more of a complete fiesta dinner then serve with buttered corn, salad greens with mandarin oranges with citrus vinaigrette dressing and baked custard for dessert. 

INGREDIENTS

17 Ounces Cooked Pork Roast

1 Cup Salsa

12 Taco Shells or Small Flour Tortillas

2 Cups Shredded Lettuce

1/2 Cup Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese

1/4 Cup Pitted & Sliced Olives

1 Cup Low-Fat Sour Cream

2 Sliced Avocados

Preheat your oven to 350º F.  Place the cooked pork roast into a baking dish.  Cover loosely with foil and put into the oven for 15 minutes.  Remove from the oven and shred the pork by pulling two forks through it in opposite directions.  Place the shredded pork back into the baking dish and add the salsa.  Place the foil back onto the baking dish and put into the oven for 10 minutes.  Place the taco shells on a baking sheet and heat for 5 minutes.  If you are using flour tortillas then wrap the tortillas tightly in foil and bake for 10 minutes.  To assemble the tacos, put the pork mixture into a warm taco shell.  Top with lettuce, cheese, olives, sour cream and avocado slices.  Makes 12 tacos.

I just called Staples. This is really disturbing to me. If I don't get a satisfactory answer, IRead More will let people know and I will also decide whether to continue shopping there. I do not like to give my money to unethical businesses.

This has convinced my growing conviction that Patch has moved completely away from any pretense ofRead More being a news source and is simply an electronic bulletin board. By abandoning their prior procedure of approving posts before they go up, they are letting anything go on and then taking them down if they're reported. By then, it's too late: the poster has gotten their message across during the time it's in the lineup. I only check in with Patch occasionally now and so many people in town won't read it at all anymore. I think we need to be honest with ourselves about what kind of a public forum this venue is. This doesn't reflect well on Staples if they are using subterfuge and violating Terms of Use on Patch either.

New Canaan hockey players are better off playing at Sono, Ridgefield or Stamford Youth Hockey.

Has everyone noticed this? Anyone want to post a photo here for those who haven't?

welcome to New Canaan. We can waste it better than any other. Anyone need trees. I understandRead More that if you write a letter to the tree warden he will immediately put them in or take them out if you so desire. I would like 4 trees, free alarm monitoring and a sidewalk please.
