Method

Prepare the Taco Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Pork

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Spices

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant. Then add the ground pork, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the pork is browned and fully cooked, approximately 7-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the filling and adjust seasoning if necessary. Cook for another minute if you add any salt or spices.

Assemble the Tacos

  1. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate skillet or on a griddle, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.

  2. 5

    Fill the Tacos

    Take a warm tortilla and add a generous portion of the pork filling. Top with diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.

  3. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle fresh cilantro on top and squeeze fresh lime juice over each taco. Serve immediately and enjoy!
