For the Tacos:
For the Pulled Pork: Season the pork with the salt and pepper and place in a medium saucepan. Add enough water to cover by 2 inches, about 6 cups. Bring to a simmer and partially cover the pot; cook until the meat is very tender and almost all of the liquid has evaporated, about 3 hours. Uncover the pork and let it slightly pan-fry in its own fat, stirring, until golden brown.
Meanwhile, combine the tomatoes, onion, garlic, jalapeno, oregano and cinnamon in a blender. Puree until smooth. Add the tomato mixture to the pork in the saucepan and stir to loosen any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Lower the heat and simmer for another 30 minutes, or until pork is falling apart and most of the liquid has reduced from the sauce. The pork mixture should be very thick.
Remove the pork from the sauce. Dice into cubes and place back into the sauce until service.
For the Grilled Mahi Mahi: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Season both sides of fish with salt, pepper and Essence. Using an oil-soaked paper towel or rag, oil grill. Place the seasoned fillets on the grill and squeeze lemon or lime on the fish. Cook on both sides until opaque and cooked through.
Assemble tacos with either the pork or mahi mahi and garnish with the Pumpkin Seed Salsa, shredded cabbage, sour cream and avocados.
