This dish sounds delicious. Tomatillos are essentially a Mexican green tomato. They are very inexpensive to buy. In fact, this entire dish can be made on the cheap. The most you'll spend is on the cut of meat. Broth, onions,tomatillos, spices- pennies on the dollar. I bet this makes a pretty good amount of meat to serve a big family or to have for a second round at dinner You could use the mixture on a hearty sandwich roll as well.

Tacos have to be one of my favorite all time meals and I love finding different ways to make them. I'm a little surprised there isn't cumin in the spice mix though. I always thought it was a base seasoning for tacos. Either way, I'm sure they're just as good with or without it. Only thing missing now is your favorite salsa and some avocado. Yum!
