<snork> Here, I'll type it again:

"Pork Loin Grilling Strips" cubed and marinated in chipotle and
ancho powders, Mexican oregano, orange zest, lime juice, and
allspice (with some olive oil). *Baked, then fried in it's own fat.
Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside - just how it's supposed
to be.

Tortillas made with actual lard, partially home made salsa (used
Rotel tomatoes), cilantro, sour cream, and crumbled cotija cheese.
