After a long day at work, the beach or on the river, coming home to the wonderful smells of the pork taco meat is relaxing in itself. Knowing that I had all of the components for tacos cut up and in the fridge waiting since the night before, all I had to do is make the guacamole and set everything out for service. The taco meat freezes great.
