Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground pork
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 8 small Corn tortillas
- 0.25 cup Chopped cilantro
- 0.25 cup Diced red onion
- 1 Diced fresh jalapeño (optional, for garnish)
- 1 Avocado, sliced
- 0.25 cup Salsa or hot sauce of choice
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, oregano, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a spice blend.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the ground pork and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Sprinkle the spice blend evenly over the cooked pork, stirring well to coat. Let the spices toast with the pork for 2-3 minutes to enhance the flavors.
Stir in fresh lime juice, mixing thoroughly. Remove the skillet from heat, and set aside.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 20-30 seconds per side or until pliable. Alternatively, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds.
Assemble the tacos by dividing the spiced pork evenly among the warmed tortillas. Top with chopped cilantro, diced red onion, sliced avocado, diced jalapeño (if using), and salsa or hot sauce of your choice.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Soy-Free Spicy Pork Tacos!
