Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large pork tenderloin (about 1 1/4 pounds), trimmed
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons fajita seasoning
2 bell peppers (red and/or yellow), sliced
2 small red onions (11/2 thickly sliced, 1/2 thinly sliced)
6 radishes, thinly sliced
2 Persian cucumbers, chopped
2 teaspoons finely chopped pickled jalapenos (mild or hot), plus 1 tablespoon brine
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup fresh cilantro
Juice of 1/2 lime, plus wedges for serving
12 corn tortillas, warmed

Steps:

  • Put a rimmed baking sheet under the broiler; preheat 5 minutes. Toss the pork with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 teaspoon fajita seasoning in a large bowl. Transfer the pork to the hot baking sheet and broil 5 minutes. Meanwhile, add the bell peppers, thickly sliced onions, 1 tablespoon olive oil and the remaining 1 teaspoon fajita seasoning to the bowl; toss.
  • Turn the pork and scatter the vegetables around it. Broil, tossing the vegetables and turning the pork occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and charred around the edges and a thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 145 degrees F, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the pork to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes. (Continue broiling the vegetables, if needed.)
  • Toss the thinly sliced onion, radishes, cucumbers, jalapenos and brine in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add the cilantro, the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and the lime juice; toss.
  • Slice the pork and toss with the peppers and onions. Serve in the tortillas with the cucumber salad and lime wedges.

CRAVE-WORTHY GROUND PORK TACOS



Crave-Worthy Ground Pork Tacos image

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.

Categories     Dinner

Time 25m

Yield Makes 8 (6-inch) tacos

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 teaspoon olive oil
1 pound ground pork or bulk ground sausage
1 to 2 tablespoons taco seasoning, see our homemade taco seasoning
1/4 cup broth or more as needed (can substitute water)
Salt to taste 8 (6-inch) tortillas
Shredded cabbage, see notes
1 large avocado, pitted and mashed
2 tablespoons sour cream, see notes
Pickled onions, see our pickled onions recipe
Pico de gallo, see our pico de gallo recipe
Tomatillo salsa, see our roasted tomatillo salsa recipe
Lime, quartered

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.
