Mexican

Pork carnitas is a traditional Mexican dish of slow-cooked pork shoulder that's shredded and pan-fried to give it a crispy texture. We've created a quick kid-friendly version using ground pork. The secret is cooking the meat until it's dark brown!

Preparation
1
Prep

Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Peel, then cut onion into 1/4-inch pieces. Cut tomatoes into 1/4-inch pieces. Zest, then juice lime. Peel, then mince or grate garlic. Finely chop cilantro. Peel, pit, then cut avocado into 1/4-inch pieces.

2
Cook onions

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 3-4 min.

3
Cook pork filling

Add pork, garlic and Mexican Seasoning to the pan with onions. Cook, breaking up pork into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 6-8 min.** Add tomato sauce base, 2 tbsp water and 1/2 tsp sugar (dbl both for 4 ppl). Cook, stirring often, until warmed through, 1-2 min.

4
Make salsa and salad dressing

While pork filling cooks, add tomatoes, cilantro, half the lime zest, half the lime juice and 1/4 tsp sugar (dbl for 4 ppl) to a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine. (NOTE: This is your tomato salsa!) Add remaining lime zest, remaining lime juice, 1 tsp sugar and 1 tbsp oil (dbl both for 4 ppl) to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine. (NOTE: This is your dressing!)

5
Warm tortillas

Wrap tortillas in paper towels. Microwave until tortillas are warm and flexible, 1 min. (TIP: You can skip this step if you don't want to warm tortillas!)

6
Finish and serve

Add spinach and avocado to the large bowl with dressing. Toss to combine. Divide cheese between tortillas, then top with pork filling, tomato salsa and a dollop of sour cream. Serve salad on the side.
