Chipotle BBQ Pork Tacos
Table of Contents
Since this blog is all about the best recipes to be found in blogsphere, I think it’s a safe assumption that we’re all interested in (passionate about?) programming like you see on the Food Network. That’s why I thought you’d also be excited about the Chopped at Home Challenge and a chance to win $5,000 and a trip to New York City to compete in a televised Chopped cooking challenge. There’s a $10,000 grand prize!
You can see what I’ve done with the round theme of grilling and the secret basket ingredients of pork tenderloin, cherry/grape tomatoes, broccoli and Sargento® Chef Blends 4 State Cheddar. Chipotle BBQ pork tacos with cilantro lime broccoli slaw are delicious, if I do say so myself!
The trendy chipotle flavor is a great addition to summer grilling. It gives a welcome kick to an already favorite dish and the rich cheese and tangy slaw really up the experience.
Sargento® Shredded Cheese is presenting this Chopped at Home Challenge. Their 30 varieties, unique blends and distinct cuts are always cut from blocks of 100% real, natural cheese.
I appreciate the convenience of the Sargento shredded cheese and their reasonable prices (3.25 – 3.95 ounces for a suggested retail price of $2.69 each), but it’s the full flavor that keeps me coming back.
Try my recipe and/or submit your own to FoodNetwork.com/ChoppedChallenge. Don’t forget to vote for your favorite, too.
Entry phase for this contest runs until 5PM on 8/1/16. Vote between 8/1 (at 5:01PM) through8/22/16 (at 5PM).
