About

Baja Pork Tacos sounds pretty tasty... but what does it mean?! Da-dada-da! It's time for some taco trivia! Baja-style usually describes deep-fried, white-fleshed fish with some shredded cabbage and a white sauce... but you know how we are, we had to switch things up a bit! Our Baja Pork Tacos swap the deep-fried for slow-cooked, the fish for some tender, juicy pork, the cabbage for some crispy lettuce (almost the same!), and the sauce for some melty cheese! We'd say that's a pretty delicious trade. Thanks for tuning into taco trivia! We hope you have fun learning new tastes!
