Grilled Asian Pork Tacos & a Giveaway

Grilled Asian Pork Tacos - these are amazing!

Disclosure: This post is in partnership with HomeRight. All opinions are my own.

I am not a food blogger, nor am I an amazing cook. But I do like to eat, and luckily I have a husband who is really great at grilling meals for our family. His Grilled Asian Pork Tacos are one of our very favorite meals, and I recently shared the recipe over on the HomeRight blog.

We have a charcoal grill, which we love. In my opinion, you can’t beat the flavor of a charcoal grilled meal. With the HomeRight ElectroLight Fire Starter, you can light a charcoal grill in 2-3 minutes flat without matches or lighter fluid. (Stay tuned for a giveaway at the end of this post!)

What You’ll Need:

We use the HomeRight ElectroLight to light our grill and we have been huge fans of this gadget since the first time we used it. It’s hard to believe that you can light charcoal this fast and without using lighter fluid, but it really does work!

Head over to the HomeRight Blog for the full step by step of how to make these awesome Asian Pork Tacos, but first be sure to enter to win an ElectroLight at the end of this post!
