Who loves tacos????

I know….dumb question 

These Pork Tacos with Spicy Sriracha Peanut Sauce are UH-mazing! I’d honestly eat them every single day, and it still boggles my mind that these are healthy with how freakin delicious they are!

Give ‘em a try and see for yourself! Not a pork fan? That’s okay – just swap it out for chicken (I prefer chicken thighs in a crockpot because they stay more “M-word” that I hate and refuse to say).

Oh and I know that this looks like it might take forever to make based on the ingredients list, but honestly, we’re talking 10 minutes of prep time on your end, if that!

Ingredients for Marinade:

1/2 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

Freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup natural peanut butter OR almond butter

4 cloves garlic

1/4 cup soy sauce

3 tablespoons lime juice

*This recipe should make 8 servings total and tastes even better the next day, so feel free to save leftovers for lunch or later in the week!
