Ingredients

Pantry

  • 2 Limes

  • 1 packet Taco Seasoning

  • 1 tbs Red Wine Vinegar

  • 1 4-oz can Mild Green Chilies

  • 8 Corn Tortillas

Fridge and Freezer

  • 1 lb diced Pork, thawed

  • ½ cup Cotija Cheese (optional)

  • 4 servings Guacamole

  • 1 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt (optional)

  • 1 bag Shredded Cabbage

Directions
  1. Wash hands with soap and water. Wash and dry the limes, then cut in half and juice 1 lime into a medium bowl. To the bowl, add pork, taco seasoning, and red wine vinegar. Stir well to combine. Always wash hands before and after handling raw meat.

  2. In a small bowl, combine the guacamole, Greek yogurt (if desired), and the juice of the other lime.

  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and let brown, stirring occasionally, just until cooked through. Stir in the green chilies.

  4. To heat corn tortillas, you can use a dry skillet or pan over medium-high heat, heating each side for 10-20 seconds until soft and warm, or you can use a microwave with damp paper towels.

  5. To make the tacos, fill each tortilla with pork, guacamole crema, cabbage and cotija cheese (omit for dairy-free). One serving is 2 tacos, and the recipe makes 8 tacos. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.

*Omit Greek yogurt and Cotija cheese to make this recipe dairy-free.

*Taco seasoning may contain gluten; check the ingredients. You can substitute 1 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp oregano, 1 tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp salt, and ½ tsp cumin.
