Kalua Pork Tacos with Fresh Mango Salsa
I got this yummy recipe for Kalua Pork Tacos with Mango Salsa from our cousins Cory and Kristen. These have the most amazing flavor! Kristen is such a good cook, we love visiting them because they always make us the most delicious food. When we all lived in California, Cory would always push us to step outside our comfort zone with food, and we were so glad he did! So many of our favorite foods are thanks to the Edwards! Kristen has her own food blog, and the dishes are to die for! You can find her amazing recipes at Culinary Mamas!
What is Kalua Pork?
If you haven’t tasted the meat that results from this delightful traditional Hawaiian cooking method, you are in for a treat. Basically, kalua refers to the way in which the meat is cooked — typically in an underground oven, or pit. For this recipe you are going to need to start with our Kalua Pork recipe.You’ll love the how tender and juicy this pork is. It comes together so easily, right in your crock pot. But it tastes so good, you’ll think it was roasted in a pit on the Hawaiian Islands. We definitely recommend a Hawaiian vacation, but we know you probably don’t have time to do that before dinner. So trust us on this yummy pork recipe.
How to Pick a Good Mango
For the Fresh Mango Salsa recipe, you’ll want to start with some mouth-watering mangos. Admittedly, this is a fruit that is best plucked from the islands yourself. However, you can pick a good one at your local grocery store if you know what to look for. When picking a mango, look for one that is slightly soft but not mushy. You can determine this by gently squeezing the fruit. It should be plump and round. If you get a flat mango there is a good chance its going to be stringy. To be certain the mango is ripe, smell it near the stem and choose one that smells sweetly of melon and pineapple.
Even More Hawaiian Flavor
Round out your island-inspired dinner with some Authentic Hawaiian Macaroni Salad. It’s simple. No fuss. And the perfect thing to put on the side at any barbecue. Top the evening off with some Easy Hawaiian Wedding Cake. This splash of coconut and pineapple makes this cake a refreshing dessert that tastes like a pina colada. Share It on Instagram!
