Now, I've been able to locate a recipe for the pork portion of these tacos (which I'm sure won't be as good as the original), but what I'm trying to find now is a recipe for that super hot salsa. The recipes I've found on line right now all look a little tame...anybody have any ideas, and if not, do any of you know what kind of peppers created that wonderful heat?

As far as I know, there should be no nopales in the salsa that goes with cochinita (I can't remember in the case of that exact salsa, because I didn't tried it as I don't like my food too spicy). The normal kind of chile to go with cochinita is Habanero and should be quite easy to make the salsa: put habaneros with purple onion and lime, that is the traditional one.
The habaneros are the hottest chiles available, maybe you can make your chiles hotter by rubbing them vigorously on the side of your pants (no joking on this one, that way the capsiciana (the substance that makes them spicy) in the chiles gets "activated" by the friction).
If you had a red salsa with your cochinita, try using red peppers and rubbing them.
Buen provecho
