Pork fajitas with homemade apple salsa. |
Peach salsa is one of the best-selling salsa flavors. But if you like to make your own salsa, summer peach season is a ways off. Mangoes are a delicious replacement; but how about apple salsa? Crisp apples provide some crunch in the salsa, and apple salsa is delicious with pork dishes and chicken dishes. Try this recipe, courtesy of the U.S. Apple Association. We also added julienned apple slices into the green salad we served on the side. PORK FAJITAS WITH APPLE-CILANTRO SALSA Yield: 4 servings, 2 fajitas each. Prep & Cook Time: 2 hours 15 minutes (includes chilling and marinating time). |
