Delicous and easy to make! This is a 'must try' recipe, the chipotle adds a nice smoky flavor but it's not too hot or spicy. The combo of everything together on a roll is HEAVENLY.

I have made this 'as is' from the original recipe and it's out of this world, if you are watching calories, you can use ground chicken or ground turkey and it's also VERY good, so don't NOT try this recipe if you're not eating pork, just use the ground meat of your choice, you wont' be sorry!
