Pork Tacos with Roasted Veggies, Fresh Salsa, & Lime Crema

(This one is way easier to follow if it's broken down into sections)


Spice Mixture

  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Combine in a small bowl. Divide in half.

-

Roasted Veggies

  • 2 red bell peppers
  • 1 medium red onion
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Half of the spice mix

Preheat oven to 425°F. Slice the bell peppers and half of the onion into thin strips (save the other half of the onion for the salsa). Put into a bowl with the frozen corn, olive oil, and spice mix. Toss to combine. Spread out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven until the veggies have softened, about 18-20 minutes.

-

Lime Crema

  • 1 lime
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper

Zest lime into a small bowl (save the lime for the salsa). Add yogurt, salt, and pepper and mix.

-

Fresh Salsa

  • The lime you zested for the crema
  • The other half of the onion from the roasted veggies
  • 1 small bunch cilantro
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Juice the zested lime into a medium-size bowl. Finely chop the cilantro, mince the other half of the onion, and quarter the tomatoes. Combine with lime juice. Add olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix.

-

Pork

  • 4 pork chops, boneless
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Half of the spice mix

Slice the pork chops into thin strips. Toss with the remaining spice mix. Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add the pork, cook, stirring occasionally, until the pork is golden brown, 4-6 minutes.

-

Tortillas

  • 12 small corn or flour tortillas

Wrap the tortillas in a damp towel and microwave until heated through, 30 to 60 seconds.
