Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pork shoulder (boneless)
- 3 tbsp Gluten-free soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Chili powder
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp Kosher salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 8 pieces Gluten-free corn tortillas
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 0.5 cup White onion (diced)
- 1 small Fresh jalapeño (sliced thin)
- 1 large Avocado (sliced)
- 4 pieces Lime wedges
Instructions
Cut the pork shoulder into thin slices, approximately 1/4 inch thick, and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free soy sauce, lime juice, olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, crushed red pepper flakes, kosher salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Add the pork slices to the marinade, ensuring every piece is well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated pork in batches, cooking each side for 2-3 minutes or until slightly caramelized and fully cooked (internal temperature of 145°F/63°C). Remove from the skillet and keep warm.
Warm the gluten-free corn tortillas on a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame to slightly char them, about 15-20 seconds per side.
Assemble the tacos by placing a portion of the cooked spicy pork onto each tortilla.
Top with chopped cilantro, diced white onion, sliced jalapeño, avocado slices, and a squeeze of lime juice.
Serve immediately and enjoy your gluten-free spicy pork tacos!
