Pork Tacos
Ingredients
-
2 Tbs olive oil, separated
-
1⁄2 lg onion, diced
-
1 lb ground pork
-
Chili Powder, Garlic Powder and Cumin to taste
-
1⁄2 head red cabbage, shredded
-
1⁄4 C mayonnaise
-
Limes or lemons, cut into quarter wedges
-
Cilantro, chopped
-
Sour cream
-
Sm soft shell tortillas
-
Salt & Pepper
-
Shredded cheese
Directions
-
Drizzle a tablespoon of oil in a skillet. Heat pan to medium heat and add the onion and a pinch of salt. Cook onion until slightly softened and lightly browned.
-
Add ground pork to the pan and season it to taste. Use a heat-safe spoon or spatula to break up the meat as it cooks through, for about 6 minutes. TIP: If the pork is fattier, strain the pan upon cooking. If the meat is on the drier side, add a dash of water to the pan while it’s cooking so it doesn’t get too dried out.
-
While the meat is cooking, add the cabbage to a medium sized mixing bowl. Stir in the mayonaise (we like avocado mayo for the good fats), plus the other tablespoon of olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste. Squeeze the juice from a whole lime or lemon over the cabbage. Mix well.
-
You can individually warm tortilla shells in a lightly oiled skillet. Alternatively, wrap tortillas in damp paper towel and microwave until warm, for about 30 seconds.
-
Serve 1-3 tacos per person. Add the meat mixture, cabbage mix, a dollop of sour cream and top with cilantro.
