This delicious pork tacos recipe is my copycat version of the most excellent Mexican food we ever had, when we were visiting Flagstaff, Arizona. The original recipe used beef instead of pork, but this comes mighty close to the same taste. —Ariella Winn, Mesquite, Texas

Can you freeze Baja Pork Tacos?

Place cooled pork mixture in freezer containers; freeze up to 3 months. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a covered saucepan, stirring gently; add broth or water if necessary.

Health tip: Using reduced-sodium taco seasoning saves about 80 milligrams of sodium in each serving.
