Savory Pork Tacos
Ingredients
  • 1 red onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • 1 Roma tomato, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 ripe kiwi, diced
  • 1 lime, quartered, divided
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, divided
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 tablespoons sour cream
  • olive oil
  • 1 poblano pepper - cored, seeded, and finely chopped
  • 10 ounces ground pork
  • 1 tablespoon Mexican seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons chicken stock
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 6 flour tortillas
Instructions
1
Prepare the ingredients by finely chopping a small portion of onion to yield approximately 1 tablespoon. Combine this with diced tomatoes, kiwi, the juice from two lime wedges, a significant amount of cilantro, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Blend the mixture to create a flavorful salsa.
2
Extract a modest amount of lime juice from the remaining wedges and combine it with sour cream in another small bowl. This will form a creamy accompaniment to the dish.
3
Heat a substantial amount of olive oil in a large cooking vessel over an elevated heat setting. Add sliced onion and roasted poblano pepper, then cook, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and lightly caramelized, typically taking 3 to 4 minutes. Introduce the pork and a blend of Mexican spices into the pan, cooking until the meat is uniformly browned, usually requiring 4 to 5 minutes. Gradually decrease the heat to a lower setting. Add chicken stock, tomato paste, salt, and pepper to the pan, stirring constantly until everything is well-coated, usually taking 1 to 2 minutes.
4
Wrap multiple tortillas in a damp cloth and heat them in the microwave for 30 seconds. Distribute these tortillas over individual plates; spread a layer of lime-infused sour cream on top. Top the tortillas with the pork mixture and finish with a spoonful of salsa. Garnish the dish with any remaining cilantro.
