Hatch chile, pig & fig taco at Velvet Taco

The particular taco I’m sanctifying was a one-week-only special described as “Hatch chile, pig & fig.” Those are three of my absolute favorite flavors — pulled pork, fresh figs, and the seasonal Hatch chile that is used here to spike the taco’s crema. The figs sat on a bed of arugula, my favorite green leaves, tossed with a few noninvasive threads of red onion. - Cliff Bostock
