We firmly believe taco night should be treated like a holiday—one that should be celebrated at LEAST once a week, if not more. If you agree, you’ve got to add this Southwest version to your repertoire. Spiced ground pork and onion are piled into steamy tortillas with Monterey Jack cheese, a tangy cilantro slaw, and sour cream. Taco ’bout an awesome meal.

Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Wash and dry produce.

  • Halve, peel, and finely dice onion. Finely chop cilantro.

Cook Onion & Pork
2
  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and a pinch of salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened and lightly browned, 2-3 minutes.

  • Add pork* and Southwest Spice Blend. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. TIP: If there’s excess grease in your pan, carefully pour it out.

Make Slaw
3
  • While pork cooks, in a large bowl, combine cabbage, mayonnaise, half the cilantro, half the vinegar (all for 4 servings), 1 tsp sugar (2 tsp for 4), and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Finish & Serve
4
  • Stir Tex-Mex paste into pan with pork mixture until fully coated. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Remove pan from heat.

  • Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds.

  • Divide tortillas between plates and fill with pork filling, Monterey Jack, slaw, sour cream, and remaining cilantro.
