This made me sad. The salsa was gross. Not inedible gross, but gross enough not to contemplate it for leftovers, and just use jarred salsa. Why would you cook salsa. Of course we left out the apple, because that would have been grosser.
The pork was decent, but D had to cut down on the cayenne. He kept checking to make sure it said 1 TBSP. He ended up putting in 2 tsp. It was still spicy.
So the left overs are not with the salsa.
We had with Black Beans and Rice.
Spicy Green and Red Pork Loin Tostadas
"The pork roast can be cooked and shredded a day ahead. Simply reheat it before serving. I like to offer a variety of toppings for these tostadas, such as shredded lettuce, chopped tomato, grated cheese, salsa, and light sour cream." --CL ReaderIngredients
