Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground pork
- 2 tbsp Avocado oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Chili powder
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp Ground cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 Red onion, diced
- 1 Lime, juiced
- 8 Butter lettuce leaves, washed
- 1 Avocado, sliced
- 2 tbsp Chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 Jalapeño, sliced thinly (optional)
- 2 tbsp Sour cream (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the avocado oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground pork to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Cook until browned, about 6-7 minutes.
Sprinkle the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper over the pork. Stir well to coat the meat evenly with the spices.
Add the diced red onion to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the onion softens.
Squeeze in the juice of one lime and stir thoroughly. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture rest for a minute.
Lay out the butter lettuce leaves on a large platter or individual plates. These will serve as the taco shells.
Spoon the spicy pork mixture into each lettuce leaf. Top with sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, and optional jalapeño slices.
Drizzle with sour cream, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your keto-friendly tacos!
