Ingredients

Grilled Tomato Salsa Ingredients:

  • 3 medium firm tomatoes. sliced into 1/2 inch slices
  • olive oil
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro
  • 1 jalapeno diced (seeds removed if desired)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Pulled Pork Taquitos Ingredients:

  • non-stick spray
  • 1 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion sliced
  • 12 small corn tortillas
  • shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup pepper jack cheese

Instructions

  • Heat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush both sides of the tomatoes with olive oil. Place on grill and grill about 2 minutes per side or until they have softened slightly and have dark grill marks. Remove from grill. Set aside to cool.
  • While tomatoes are cooling combine the remaining ingredients for the salsa together in a bowl. Mix well. Once tomatoes are cool, dice them and add them to the rest of the ingredients. Mix well. Cover and let set at room temperature until ready to use.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a baking sheet lightly with non-stick spray
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook onions until they are brown and caramelized, 15 - 20 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In the same skillet add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and cook tortillas, one at a time, until soft and pliable. About 30 seconds on each side. Repeat with all tortillas.
  • In a bowl combine caramelized onions and pork. Mix well. Place a heaping tablespoon of the mixture in the center of a tortilla and roll up. Place the taquitos seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining ingredients until you've made 12 taquitos.
  • Cook taquitos in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Sprinkle pepper jack cheese on top and return to the oven and cook until cheese has melted, about 5 minutes.
  • Place taquitos on a serving platter, top with shredded lettuce and grilled tomato salsa. Serve.
