Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground pork
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 8 pieces Lettuce leaves (large)
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 large Tomato
- 4 pieces Lime wedges
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the ground pork, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, ground cumin, crushed red pepper flakes, sea salt, black pepper, and apple cider vinegar. Mix well until all the spices are evenly distributed throughout the pork.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned pork mixture to the skillet.
Cook the pork for about 10-15 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks, until the pork is fully cooked and browned. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
While the pork is cooking, prepare the taco toppings. Slice the avocado and the tomato, and set aside.
Rinse and dry the lettuce leaves to use as taco shells.
Once the chorizo is ready, assemble the tacos by placing a portion of chorizo onto each lettuce leaf. Top with slices of avocado and tomato.
Garnish each taco with fresh cilantro leaves and a squeeze of lime juice just before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Chorizo Tacos!
