Sometimes I'll substitute Bibb lettuce leaves for the tortillas to make crunchy lettuce wraps, and I find that leftovers are perfect for burritos.—Kathleen Wolf of Naperville, Illinois

Absolutely delicious! Made the night before and used a large spoon the next afternoon to smush up the cold cubed meat. Much easier than trying to shred 1-inch squares! Great for a crowd!

I've made this dish at minimum 5 times a year. It is soooo easy and delicious. I recently added ground pork (to increase for a larger crowd) and wasn't as happy with the texture as I thought I would be. But hands down these pork tacos are yummy!

I MAKE THIS OVER AND OVER!! My kids absolutely LOVE this stuff. I chop up the bell peppers very small and they dont even notice they are in there...as they "dont like them". I would not change a thing. I have not tried any variations of any sort. Perfect the way it is!! Thanks so much for this.

This was unbelievably good!!! I just made it to use up some pork taco meat & I was amazed! Next time I will choose chicken. I didn't have any bell pepper, but I did use a double portion of apricots!
