If I were to put some jalapenos in the tacos… would that destroy the pairing?

If so, what ingredients would you recommend to help those of use who love pork tacos, but with some added zing?

I think that would make a very good addition…that, a touch of lemon, and a dollop of Mexican chilli sauce.

The wine should hold up to the challenge. The floral quality that I wasn’t too keen on would probably help.

You could, of course, always try a bottle of Pink Elephant.

i think that the water used can be used again, instead of discarding, with rice for a lovely rice side dish…?

Hi Dee,

You’re not wrong. Though if I were you, I would adjust the recipe by removing the calasparra rice from the main pot. I’d also consider making the rice ‘dirty’ or adding some chopped peppers and tomatoes to it.
