CRAVE-WORTHY GROUND PORK TACOS - INSPIRED TASTE



Crave-Worthy Ground Pork Tacos - Inspired Taste image

Thanks to ground pork, these easy pork tacos come together fast. We highly recommend making your own taco seasoning with chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, coriander and cayenne pepper. If you’re using store-bought taco mix, watch out for adding additional salt. Often the store-bought packages already have salt added so you might not need to add any additional salt.

Total Time 25 minutes

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes

Yield Makes 8 (6-inch) tacos

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 teaspoon olive oil
1 pound ground pork or bulk ground sausage
1 to 2 tablespoons taco seasoning, see our homemade taco seasoning
1/4 cup broth or more as needed (can substitute water)
Salt to taste 8 (6-inch) tortillas
Shredded cabbage, see notes
1 large avocado, pitted and mashed
2 tablespoons sour cream, see notes
Pickled onions, see our pickled onions recipe
Pico de gallo, see our pico de gallo recipe
Tomatillo salsa, see our roasted tomatillo salsa recipe
Lime, quartered

Steps:

  • Heat a wide skillet over medium heat then add the oil. When the oil is hot, press the pork down into the pan, spreading it out as thin as you can so that it browns evenly on one side, about 5 minutes.
  • When it begins to brown on one side, use a wooden spoon to break the pork up into small crumbles. Continue to cook until browned on all sides, about 3 minutes.
  • Toss 1 tablespoon of the taco seasoning with the pork. Taste a small crumble to see if it needs more seasoning and adjust from there — when using our homemade taco seasoning mix, we use 2 tablespoons.
  • Stir in the water and let it come to a simmer. The mixture will thicken and coat the pork. Season with a pinch or two of salt (if you are using packaged seasoning, it may already have salt added).
  • Wrap tortillas, in two stacks, with aluminum foil. Place into the oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until heated through. Fill each warmed tortilla with pork and your favorite toppings. We particularly love these with mashed avocado spread onto the bottom of each tortilla then topped with pork, cabbage, pickled onions and sour cream.
