Great recipe! I'm wondering if anyone has made this with beef or chicken?

This is a delicious recipe! I made it with pork chops instead of stew meat and used Swanson's canned chicken broth instead of water and used fresh garlic instead of garlic powder. It was absolutely delicious. The longer it cooks (on low heat), the better it tastes. I let it cooks for 2 hours and it was fabulous. Thank you for this recipe!

Rubio's Fish Tacos

Great recreation of the incredible Rubio's Fish Taco. Most people get this wrong, but not this one. The CORN tortilla is vital to the flavor. Get them as fresh and thick as possible. Another vital element is the hot sauce. It's very easy to make and will kick up the flavor a bunch.
