EASY PORK TACOS

Provided by Food Network

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 package Curly's Sauceless Pork (or Curly's Sauceless Chicken if preferred)
1 medium onion chopped
1 packet of taco seasoning
1 cup water
1 package Taco Shells (hard or soft)
Optional Toppings: Lettuce, Onion, Tomato, Salsa, Cheese, Avocado

Steps:

  • In large skillet, heat Curly's Sauceless Pork and onion over medium heat until onion is tender. (approximately 5 minutes) Add in taco seasoning and water, bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and allow liquid to reduce. Spoon Curly's Sauceless Pork mixture into taco shells and add desired toppings.
  • Alternate recipe option - toss Pork with 1/2 cup BBQ sauce instead of using taco seasoning.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of spices: Pork tacos are a great way to experiment with different flavors. Try using a combination of chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika for a classic taco seasoning. You can also add other spices, such as chipotle powder, cayenne pepper, or oregano, to taste.
  • Don't overcook the pork: Pork should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking will make the pork dry and tough.
  • Use fresh tortillas: Fresh tortillas will make a big difference in the taste of your tacos. If you can, try to find a local tortilleria where you can buy fresh tortillas. If you can't find fresh tortillas, you can use store-bought tortillas, but be sure to warm them up before using them.
  • Load up on toppings: Tacos are all about the toppings! Be sure to have a variety of toppings on hand, such as shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, chopped onions, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.
  • Serve with a margarita: Margaritas are the perfect drink to serve with pork tacos. They are refreshing and flavorful, and they will help to cut through the richness of the pork.

Conclusion:

Pork tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give pork tacos a try.
