Bursting with bold flavors, these hearty weeknight tacos are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. Thinly sliced pork is dusted with cumin, seared with onions, then layered onto tortillas with smashed seasoned black beans. A fresh, homemade pico de gallo adds brightness, and a sprinkle of scallion greens finishes off these tacos with a fresh crunch.

Instructions

Prep & Make Pico
1

• Wash and dry produce.  • Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens; mince whites. Finely dice tomato. Quarter lime. Trim, halve, and thinly slice onion; mince a few slices until you have 1 TBSP (2 TBSP for 4 servings). Drain and rinse beans. • In a small bowl, combine scallion whites, tomato, juice from two lime wedges (four wedges for 4), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside until ready to serve.

Cook Pork
2

• Pat pork* dry with paper towels; thinly slice crosswise into strips. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and sliced onion; season with salt, pepper, and as much cumin as you like (we used ½ tsp; 1 tsp for 4 servings). Cook, stirring occasionally, until pork is cooked through and onion has softened, 4-6 minutes.

Smash Beans
3

• While pork and onion cook, heat a large drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add minced onion, Fajita Spice Blend, and a pinch of salt; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 30 seconds. • Stir in beans and ⅓ cup water (⅔ cup for 4 servings). Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer. Using a potato masher, mash about half the beans. Cook, stirring occasionally, until creamy and thickened, 3-5 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.

Finish & Serve
4

• Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels; microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds. • Divide tortillas between plates and fill with smashed beans, pork mixture, and pico de gallo. Sprinkle with scallion greens and serve.

Pork is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.
