Chipotle Pork Tacos |
With just a few ingredients you’ll love how this quick and easy dinner packs in the flavour.
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin, sliced thin
- 1 ½ tsp grated lime zest
- 1 Tbs fresh lime juice
- 2 tsp minced fresh oregano, or a heaping ½ tsp dry
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp chopped chipotle chiles in adobo sauce (use the peppers for heat and the adobo sauce for a mild smoky bite. I used 1 1/2 Tbs of sauce and no peppers and it was hardly spicy at all.)
- 2 tsp bottled minced garlic
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- 3 tsp olive oil, divided
- 1 C thinly sliced shallots, or onions
- 8 (6 inch) corn tortillas
- Sour cream
- Chopped cilantro
Directions
Combine thinly sliced pork, lime zest, lime juice, oregano, brown sugar, chipotles, garlic and salt. Set aside. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tsp olive oil. Add onions and sauté for 4 minutes or until tender. Remove from pan and set aside. Add 2 tsp olive oil to pan and add pork mixture. Sauté for 3-4 minutes or until no longer pink. Add pork to onions. Warm tortillas on a hot grill and fill with pork mixture. Top with sour cream and cilantro. Serve with rice. Serves 4.
