Just ok for me. But it may not be the recipe's fault, it could have been that the fresh salsa I got from my grocery store was a bit under-flavored. The tomatoes did look a bit pale. I could also have used more liquid and flavor on the actual pork. Also, I thought the portion size was a bit on the small side.
Tex-Mex Pork
Fresh salsa simmers to create a surprisingly complex and zesty sauce in this quick entrée.
