Tickle your taste buds

imageThis is a totally different blog to what I normally write, but hey ho, I feel like doing something a little different.

My brother in-law made me a delicious meal awhile ago.
I thought it may be nice to share it with you all in a hope that it may tickle your taste buds to.
So here goes

In a skillet, heat the oil.
Add the pork mixture and cook over high heat, stirring to break up the meat, until no pink remains, about 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat.
Stir in the lime juice mixture.

Let stand for 5 minutes.
Transfer the meat to a bowl and stir in the herbs.
