Preparation
1
Prep and make salsa fresca

  • Core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch slices.
  • Peel, then cut onion into 1/4-inch slices. Finely chop one-quarter of the onions. Reserve remaining onions for step 2.
  • Zest, then juice half the lime (whole lime for 4 ppl). Cut any remaining lime into wedges.
  • Cut tomatoes into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Add tomatoes, finely chopped onions, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) lime juice and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to a small bowl.
  • Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine. Set aside.

2
Cook veggies

  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
  • When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then peppers and remaining onions.
  • Cook, stirring often, until tender and beginning to brown, 5-6 min.
  • Add half the Mexican Seasoning. Stir to combine.
  • Remove from heat, then season with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer veggies to a small bowl.

3
Make lime crema

  • Add sour cream and lime zest to another small bowl.
  • Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine. Set aside.

4
Cook beef

  • Reheat the same pan (from step 2) over medium-high.
  • When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then beef.
  • Cook, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-6 min.**
  • Carefully drain and discard excess fat.
  • Add remaining Mexican Seasoning.
  • Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec. Season with pepper, to taste.

5
Warm tortillas

  • Just before serving, wrap tortillas in paper towels. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, divide tortillas into two equal stacks, then wrap in paper towels.)
  • Microwave until tortillas are warm and flexible, 30 sec-1 min. (TIP: You can skip this step if you don't want to warm the tortillas!)

6
Finish and serve

  • Thinly slice green onions.
  • Top tortillas with beef and veggies, then spoon salsa fresca over top.
  • Dollop with lime crema and sprinkle with cheese.
  • Sprinkle green onions over top.
  • Squeeze a lime wedge over top, if desired.

7
Modularity Step (under step 4)

If you've opted to get beef, cook it in the same way the recipe instructs you to cook the pork.**
