I love trying new recipes - especially when it seems I've fallen into a dinner rut.
We had some leftover chalupa pork and I searched the web until I created something delicious from bits and pieces of other recipes.
It would be really tasty with plain smoked pork, as well.
Here's what I did:
Ingredients:
cooked chalupa pork or 1-2 lb smoked pork
favorite barbecue sauce
favorite dinner rolls, buns, etc
Pineapple-Mango Salsa:
1/2 bell pepper any color, finely diced
1/4 cup purple/red onion, finely diced
3 T chopped cilantro
1/2 c diced mango
1/2 c diced pineapple
Pineapple-Mango Dressing:
1 T mayo
1/2 T vinegar
1 T orange juice
1/2 t mustard
1/4 t celery seed
1/2 T sugar
salt & pepper to taste
If pork is already cooked, simply add barbecue sauce and heat on low for at least 30 minutes.
While pork is heating, chop items in pineapple-mango topping and put together into a bowl. Whisk the dressing ingredients together, then pour over the fruits & vegies. Stir and chill until time to serve.
When pork is well simmered, serve on rolls, top with pineapple-mango salsa and enjoy.
* This could also be served with shredded beef or chicken. The pineapple-mango salsa was originally a slaw, but my family won't eat cabbage, so I changed it to make us happy. Add cabbage if you like and increase the dressing ingredients slightly.
