This recipe was a hit with the family!! We put the pork in the crock pot because it was a busy day and it took 10 min to prepare our plates! The crunch of the tostada with lime and cilantro made it so flavorful! Can’t wait to have it again!!
Val! It’s so nice to have something that takes only minutes to put together on those busy days.
