Taco truck Takos

This past summer, we discovered the most awesome farmer's market about a mile away from our house. Every Saturday morning, we would get up, put the dog on the leash and walk to the market. We would load up on fresh berries, veggies, homemade pastas, jams, gelato, soaps and meats. One of the greatest parts of this weekly trip was the last stop at the taco truck. The taco truck would park on the edge of the market where we would place our orders and wait impatiently in the shade for the amazing tacos we were about to eat. Now these are not your average taco bell style tacos. They offer pork, chicken, beef and tofu tacos made American, Asian or Mexican style. You can also get fish tacos, duck egg tacos, pork belly tacos among other amazing creations. With all these great choices, I found I liked the pork or chicken Mexican tacos the best. In fact we liked them so much, our good friend Trey figured out how to replicate these tacos at home. While they are not exactly the same as the tacos fresh off the truck, they are still a delicious reminder of our Saturday market breakfasts!

Taco Truck Takos  (for best results, a crock pot will be needed)
- Pork tenderloin (or chicken breasts)
- 1 corona (or other similar beer)
- small chopped onion
- 2 limes
- purple cabbage, chopped
- Hot sauce
- sour cream
- Chipotle peppers in adobe sauce (can be found at most grocery stores)
- small corn tortilla's 
Start by placing your pork or chicken in the crockpot with the onions, beer and juice from one lime. Let this cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4 hours until it is very tender. Next, marinate your cabbage in the juice from one lime and hot sauce to taste (depending on how hot it is, a tablespoon should be good). Put a couple chipotle peppers into a small food processser with a cup of sour cream and blend (Add more peppers for a spicier, smokier flavor). Wrap the tortillas in foil and heat in the oven for about 10 minutes. To assemble your taco, top a corn tortilla with meat, sour cream chipotle sauce and cabbage. You can serve these with a side of rice and beans and corona, dos equis or budlight lime.
