For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the pork mixture while simmering. Feel free to customize the toppings! Consider adding shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro, or diced onions. To warm the taco shells, bake them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or microwave them briefly.
