CRAVE-WORTHY GROUND PORK TACOS
Thanks to ground pork, these easy pork tacos come together fast. We highly recommend making your own taco seasoning with chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, coriander and cayenne pepper. If you're using store-bought taco mix, watch out for adding additional salt. Often the store-bought packages already have salt added so you might not need to add any additional salt.

Steps:
- Heat a wide skillet over medium heat then add the oil. When the oil is hot, press the pork down into the pan, spreading it out as thin as you can so that it browns evenly on one side, about 5 minutes.
- When it begins to brown on one side, use a wooden spoon to break the pork up into small crumbles. Continue to cook until browned on all sides, about 3 minutes.
- Toss 1 tablespoon of the taco seasoning with the pork. Taste a small crumble to see if it needs more seasoning and adjust from there - when using our homemade taco seasoning mix, we use 2 tablespoons.
- Stir in the water and let it come to a simmer. The mixture will thicken and coat the pork. Season with a pinch or two of salt (if you are using packaged seasoning, it may already have salt added).
- Wrap tortillas, in two stacks, with aluminum foil. Place into the oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until heated through. Fill each warmed tortilla with pork and your favorite toppings. We particularly love these with mashed avocado spread onto the bottom of each tortilla then topped with pork, cabbage, pickled onions and sour cream.

PORK TACO SALAD
A really yum salad that is my new favourite. I found the recipe in the December 2008 "recipes +" magazine. Quick and easy to make and the taste is sensational. I also added avocado to the recipe and at one time added blanched asparagus that I needed to be used. I used telegraph cucumber and plain tomatoes as they are cheaper, but will post the recipe as it was originally published.

Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients to your salad. Some good options include lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and peppers.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings. In addition to the classic taco toppings like cheese, sour cream, and salsa, you can also try adding things like avocado, black beans, corn, or pickled jalapeños.
- Make your own taco seasoning. It's easy to do and it will taste much better than the store-bought stuff. Just mix together chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt.
- Cook the ground pork thoroughly. This is important to prevent foodborne illness. Cook the pork over medium heat until it is no longer pink in the center.
- Serve the salad immediately. This will prevent the vegetables from getting soggy.
Conclusion:
Ground pork taco salad is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. It's also a great way to use up leftover ground pork. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying salad that the whole family will enjoy.
