    - 1 small jalapeno chili, seeds and veins discarded, minced
    - 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
    - 1/4 cup dark raisins
    - 2 tablespoons slivered almonds, toasted

    Recipe




    Cover pork with water in medium saucepan; heat to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until pork is tender, about 10 minutes. Drain; cool pork slightly and shred into small pieces.

    Spray medium skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat until hot. Saute onion, garlic, and jalapeno chili until tender, about 5 minutes. Add pork, tomatoes, raisins,
    almonds, vinegar, cinnamon, cloves, oregano, and allspice; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until pork is hot through and mixture is dry, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

    Spoon about 1/3 cup mixture on each tortilla and fold in half to make tacos. Spray large skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat until hot. Saute tacos until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes on each side.
