Servings: persons

1 pound pork loin, sliced thinly
Juice of 3 limes
8 tomatillos, husk removed and washed
2 poblanos
1 red onion, sliced 1/4-inch thick
Canola oil
Salt and pepper
2 garlic cloves
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
Juice of 1 lime
2 tablespoons honey
12 corn tortillas
1/4 chopped white onion

1
Turn on the broiler or grill to high. Lightly coat the poblanos, tomatillos, and red onion in canola oil, and a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Cook the poblanos and tomatillos for about 5 minutes a side, or until charred on all sides. Cook the onions until browned, just a couple minutes a side. Transfer the onions and tomatillos to a bowl and set aside. Wrap the poblanos in a bag and steam for 15 minutes.
2
Meanwhile, place the pork into a bowl and pour in the juice of 2 limes. Sprinkle a pinch of a salt on top, stir until coated, and set aside for 15 minutes.
3
Rub the skins off the poblanos, and remove their seeds and stems. Add them to the blender, along with the tomatillos, red onion, garlic, half of the cilantro, juice of 1 lime, and the honey. Process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
4
Cook the pork in a skillet set over high heat for just a minute or so, or until it is no longer pink. Remove the pork. Warm the corn tortillas for a few seconds on each side in the empty skillet.
5
Serve the pork with the tortillas, salsa, chopped onion, cilantro, and salt to taste.
