Raspberry Chipotle Tacos

Instructions:
Combine all ingredients for black bean and corn salsa. Allow to sit at least 30 minutes before assembling tacos.

Heat raspberry preserves in microwave for about 30 seconds. Combine raspberry preserves and Baja Chipotle marinade. Add diced pork and onion. Allow to sit for at least 30 minutes. Add a small amount of oil to a pan - about 1 tbl. Pour pork and marinade into pan and cook over medium heat until meat is cooked. About 7-10 minutes. Allow to cook slightly as sauce will thicken.

Heat about 1 tbl. of oil in pan over medium heat. Quickly fry each flour tortilla on both side to soften. Drain tortilla on paper towels to remove excess oil.

To assemble taco, place about 1 tbl of meat across the tortilla using caution to drain excess marinade. Sprinke meat with about 1 tsp cheese, 1 tbl black bean, corn and cilantro salsa, and ½ cup lettuce. Fold tortilla in half.

Enjoy!

Serves: 4-6
