One-Pan Smoky Pork Tacos

with Green Pepper, Pickled Onion & Monterey Jack Cheese

10 min
Difficulty: 1/3
Central America

These ground pork tacos taste slow-cooked, thanks to Southwest-style seasonings plus tomato paste for umami-packed richness, and savory onion and green pepper. It’s all stuffed into steamy tortillas with Monterey Jack cheese, pickled onion, tomato, and chipotle crema—basically, everything we crave on taco night and then some.

Preparation
1
Prep

• Wash and dry produce. • Halve and peel onion; thinly slice one half and finely chop remaining. Core, deseed, and dice green pepper into 1⁄2-inch pieces. Dice tomato. Roughly chop cilantro.

2
Pickle Onion

• In a medium bowl, combine sliced onion, vinegar, 1 TBSP water, 2 tsp sugar, and salt (we used 1⁄2 tsp). Stir until sugar and salt have mostly dissolved. Set aside to pickle, stirring occasionally, until ready to serve.

3
Cook Pork

• Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. • Transfer to a plate and set aside.

4
Make Filling

• Heat a drizzle of olive oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add green pepper and chopped onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until softened, 3-4 minutes. • Return pork to pan along with Southwest Spice Blend, stock concentrate, half the tomato paste (all for 4 servings), and 1⁄4 cup water (1/3 cup for 4). Cook, scraping up any browned bits from bottom of pan, until mixture is thickened and saucy, 1-2 minutes more.

5
Prep Crema & Tortillas

• While filling cooks, in a small bowl, combine sour cream, a bit of onion pickling liquid to taste (start with 1⁄4 tsp and add more if desired), and a pinch of chipotle powder (add more to taste if you like things spicy). Stir in water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper. • Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds.

6
Serve

• Divide tortillas between plates; fill with pork filling, tomato, Monterey Jack, cilantro, pickled onion (draining first), and crema. TIP: Alternatively, put everything in individual serving bowls and let everyone assemble their own tacos! ***Ground Meat is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160°.***
