Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Ground pork (or plant-based ground meat for veggie version)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 2 tsp Chili powder
- 1 tsp Oregano, dried
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 1 Red bell pepper, finely diced
- 1 Yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 tbsp Tomato paste
- 60 ml Water
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
If making the traditional version, add the ground pork to the skillet. For the veggie version, use plant-based ground meat. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned.
Push the meat or plant-based alternative to one side of the skillet. Add the garlic, red bell pepper, and onion to the empty side and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, oregano, and salt. Mix well to evenly coat the meat or plant-based mixture and vegetables with the spices.
Add the tomato paste and water to the skillet, stirring to combine. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Stir in apple cider vinegar and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot on tacos, with rice, or as part of a main dish.
