Preparation
1
PREP & MAKE PICO

  • Wash and dry produce. 

  • Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens; mince whites. Finely dice tomato. Quarter lime. Trim, halve, and thinly slice onion; mince a few slices until you have 1 TBSP (2 TBSP for 4 servings). Drain and rinse beans.

  • In a small bowl, combine scallion whites, tomato, juice from two lime wedges (four wedges for 4), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside until ready to serve.

2
COOK PORK

  • Pat pork* dry with paper towels; thinly slice crosswise into strips.

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and sliced onion; season with saltpepper, and as much cumin as you like (we used ½ tsp; 1 tsp for 4 servings). Cook, stirring occasionally, until pork is cooked through and onion has softened, 4-6 minutes.

3
SMASH BEANS

  • While pork and onion cook, heat a large drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add minced onion, Fajita Spice Blend, and a pinch of salt; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 30 seconds.

  • Stir in beans and ⅓ cup water (⅔ cup for 4 servings). Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer. Using a potato masher, mash about half the beans. Cook, stirring occasionally, until creamy and thickened, 3-5 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.

4
FINISH & SERVE

  • Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels; microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds.

  • Divide tortillas between plates and fill with smashed beans, pork and onion, and pico de gallo. Sprinkle with scallion greens and serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.
