    A twist on the popular Southern barbecue dish, this “pulled pork” is infused with rich, exotic flavors, plus hints of chili and orange. Canola oil’s mild taste helps those flavors sparkle. The meat is wrapped in tortillas and garnished with shredded lettuce, cilantro or mint sprigs, green onions and a dash of sour cream for a sensational meal.

    If you are in the mood to make something simple but with a spin try this chicken with mustard dish, the combination will result in something exotic and delicious.
