What if we gave you the most delightful pork sandwich pieces… the crunchy slaw, the sweet sauce, the savory pork… but did it in taco form? You'd be calling us geniuses, yes? We're sure our MacArthur grant is in the mail. Tip: Easiest way to remove jalapeño stems and seeds: remove ends, then hold upright. Carefully slice the pepper into four pieces, leaving stem and seed to discard.
