Did you know that Taco Tuesday is actually a weekly requirement at EveryPlate School? You may have had a math or social science requirement in high school—heck, you may have even been required to take gym class. Well, the Taco Tuesday requirement is just as essential at EPS. This week’s requirement is satisfied by letting your pork chops soak up a slew of bold, zesty Tex-Mex flavors before searing (extra credit for letting them hang out in there a little while!) Top your tacos with fresh pico de gallo and cooling lime crema for a guaranteed A+.

Cooking Oil
Wash and dry produce. Peel and finely chop garlic. Zest and quarter lime. Dice tomato into ¼-inch pieces. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion; chop a few slices until you have 2 TBSP (4 TBSP for 4 servings).
Pat pork dry with paper towels; very thinly slice crosswise. Place in a medium bowl; toss with garlic, Tex-Mex paste, a squeeze of lime juice, a drizzle of oil, and a pinch of salt. Set aside to marinate.
Swap in chicken for pork.
In a small bowl, combine tomato, chopped onion, a squeeze of lime juice, salt, and pepper. In a separate small bowl, combine sour cream with a pinch of lime zest. Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency; season with salt and pepper.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced onion and cook, stirring, until onion begins to soften, 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add pork mixture and cook, stirring, until cooked through, 4-6 minutes.
Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds. Divide tortillas between plates; fill with pork mixture, then top with pico de gallo and lime crema. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.
Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.
