    • Mojo Pork Tacos with Chamoy Sauce

      Posted at 11:35 am by NativeNM, on June 10, 2025

      It’s Tuesday so it must be Taco Tuesday! Today I’m sharing the tacos I made with the leftover mojo pork tenderloin. I cut the remaining mojo pork into small chunks to make these delicious tacos with mango salsa and a drizzle of chamoy sauce. Mango and chamoy pair together like peanut butter and chocolate, they just belong together. One of my favorite snacks are dried fruit or gummy candy coated in chamoy. My sister Kat picked up a bottle of Siete Chamoy sauce that is one of the best chamoy sauces I’ve ever tasted. Kat and I are condiment junkies, we are always trying something new and she challenged me to make something with this sauce. It has sweet tones mixed with tangy and spicy notes that make these tacos so flavorful. It’s distributed across the country so most likely you will find it at your local grocery store. I think you will love it on dried fruit, fresh mango or pineapple, and also pork and chicken. And don’t forget to make a Mangonado Margarita to go with your tacos. Happy Tuesday!

    • Blackened Shrimp Tacos with Mango Salsa

      Posted at 1:52 pm by NativeNM, on June 29, 2022

      Recently I cleaned out the freezer, something I do every few month’s. You know how it goes when we add things to the freezer and some things get pushed to the back and forgotten. I found a bag of vacuum sealed shrimp that I had put up a couple month’s ago. Since it’s grilling season, I immediately thought shrimp tacos would taste mighty good, especially with some mango or pineapple salsa and crunchy cabbage. I went to the store to pick up some fruit and cabbage. I found ripe mangos but the pineapple would need a few days, so it’s mango salsa tonight. This meal is a simple way to have a colorful tasty meal with little effort. I love the taste of grilled shrimp with tropical fruit. And the finely chopped cabbage adds a bit of crunch which makes these tacos look and taste like they came off a food truck.

    • Cocoa Coffee Braised Beef Tacos with Mango Salsa

      Posted at 11:44 am by NativeNM, on July 21, 2017

      This is another “Food Paradise” favorite that I found on the Travel Channel.  It comes from the Taco Guild Gastropub in Phoenix, AZ, ranked No. 2 on their countown.  One of their signature tacos uses a rub that coats big chunks of beef with cocoa powder, espresso powder, Ancho chiles, plus a few more flavorful ingredients.  Once the beef is saturated with the rub it goes straight onto a hot grill to sear.  The beef is turned over each side to sear until it is a bit charred and dark in color.  Next place the beef in a roasting pan and pour brewed coffee over it.  Cover it with aluminum foil where it goes into a 300 degree oven for 5 – 6 hours.  It is so tender and so flavorful when it comes out of the oven and virtually falls apart at the slightest touch.  Taco Guild serves their tacos with a mango salsa topped with cotija cheese.  I have to say they were spot on as the mango salsa added just the right amount of sweetness to balance the cocoa and coffee flavors.  There was a lot of shredded beef to go around.  I don’t know exactly how many tacos we ate but for several days we were in taco heaven.

    • Baja Fish Tacos with Mango Salsa

      Posted at 8:39 am by NativeNM, on March 20, 2012

      These fish tacos are filled with a beer battered fish and topped with a mango salsa and baja sauce.  Cameron loves these tacos and frequently asks for them.  The fish recipe is borrowed from Cooking Light and seemed perfect for a fish taco.  I tend to pick up whatever fish looks good and at a reasonable price.  This time it was cod, but I have used tilapia and swai fillets and they worked well in the beer batter as well.
