Reviews
Quick and easy! I keep Emeril’s essence in my pantry made in advance because I use it so much! I used ground beef instead of chicken and it was great!
This was very yummy but it took me longer than 40 minutes. It was worth it though. I happened to have all 23 ingredients (except guacamole) and added black olives on top for that contrast look. My smoked pulled pork was flavored with barbecue which gave it a gentle sweetness. I added a few herbs from my garden as well in the salsa which was very refreshing. This would be great to serve while watching a movie or a big game.
