Pork and Fava Bean Tacos are a delicious and healthy twist on traditional tacos. Made with lean pork, fresh fava beans, roasted tomatoes, and spicy chilies, these tacos are a flavorful way to enjoy a healthy meal. They are perfect for dinner or lunch, and can be assembled in under 30 minutes. The combination of pork, beans, and vegetables makes this recipe a great source of protein, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals. It's also gluten-free, low in fat, and full of flavor, making it a perfect choice for anyone looking to eat healthy without sacrificing taste.

Instructions

1.	Clean the fava beans: snap off the stem and pull off the stringy part along the edge. You can also slip the bean out of its skin if you prefer.
2.	Roast the tomatoes and chilies: Preheat the oven to broil. Spread the tomatoes and chilies on a baking sheet, and place under the broiler for about 10 minutes, until the skins are blistered all over. Flip the tomatoes and chilies over and broil for another 10-15 minutes, until charred all over. Let cool, then remove the stems from the tomatoes and chilies.
3.	Cook the pork: Cut the pork crosswise into ½-inch slices. Heat the cooking oil in a large pan over high heat, and add the pork slices. Cook until browned on both sides, about 3 minutes per side.
4.	Add the fava beans: Remove the pork from the pan and set aside. Add the fava beans to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally until tender.
5.	Assemble the tacos: Top each tortilla with the pork, fava beans, and roasted tomatoes and chilies. Serve warm with lime wedges and your desired toppings.
