Description
Quick and flavorful ground pork tacos topped with pickled red onion and fresh cilantro. Perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Corn tortillas
- Pickled red onion
- Fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Heat the pan. Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
- Brown the pork. Add ground pork and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until no longer pink and starting to brown in spots.
- Season and finish. Sprinkle in chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, plus salt and pepper. Stir well and cook for 5–7 minutes, until the pork is fully cooked and the spices smell fragrant. (If the pan looks dry, add a small splash of water.)
- Warm the tortillas. Heat tortillas in a dry pan for 20–30 seconds per side, or microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel until soft and warm.
- Assemble. Spoon pork into tortillas. Top with pickled red onion and fresh cilantro.
- Serve right away. Tacos are best hot, with the tortillas still warm and flexible.
Notes
Great for a taco bar where everyone can customize their toppings.
