TERIYAKI PORK TACOS



Teriyaki Pork Tacos image

An intro to fusion foods. Teriyaki marinated pork tenderloin turned into a sweet and spicy taco. Could also be used as a filling for some oven-baked chimichangas, or burritos. This is just a basic recipe I cam eup with using ingredients I had on hand. I'm sure others can find other ways to use it or add/remove things to make it their own. Try it!
