Bajio Pork Salad

I am in LOOOVE with Bajio's Pork, so I was super excited when I came across this recipe from the Bajio Operations Director, Bonnie El Halta.  She prepared the recipe for ABC 4 in Salt Lake.  You can view the link HERE.  Or just follow the recipe below.  You can also use the pork in burritos, quesadillas, chimichangas, or whatever else you are feeling saucy for.
