Ingredients:
* 3 Tbs. olive oil
* 3 cups roasted pork, cut into thin strips or shredded (I cooked a pork roast in the crockpot)
* Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
* 1 can (7 oz.) chipotle chilies in adobo sauce
* Juice of 1 lime
* 8 corn tortillas, each 5 inches in diameter, warmed
* 1 avocado, halved, pitted, peeled and thinly sliced
* 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
* 1/4 red onion, minced
* 1/2 cup queso fresco, crumbled
Directions:
Heat the pork
In a large fry pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 Tbs. of the olive oil. Add the pork, season with salt and pepper, and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.
Make the salsa and assemble the tacos
In a blender, puree the chipotle chilies in adobo sauce, the remaining 1 Tbs. oil and the lime juice. Divide the pork evenly among the tortillas. Drizzle with the salsa and top with the avocado. Garnish with the cilantro, onion and queso fresco and serve immediately. Serves 4.

* The chipotle peppers are really spicy! I didn't realize this and tossed the pork in with the blended peppers. We had to rinse it off because it was so spicy we couldn't eat it.
