POBLANO AND GROUND PORK TACOS

Steps:

• Mince a few slices of onion to get 1 tablespoon. Add minced onion, tomato, kiwi, juice from 2 lime wedges, 3/4 of the cilantro, salt, and pepper to a small bowl. Mix into a salsa.
• Juice 1/4 of the lime into another small bowl; mix in sour cream to make the crema.
• Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced onion and poblano pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until softened and lightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes. Add pork and Mexican seasoning. Cook until pork is browned throughout, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add chicken stock, tomato paste, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until everything is coated, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Wrap tortillas in a damp cloth and microwave for 30 seconds. Divide tortillas over plates; spread cream on top. Top tortillas with pork mixture and salsa. Garnish with remaining cilantro.

SIZZLING PORK TACOS

Steps:

• Season the pork generously with salt and pepper. Add the garlic, chile powder and cumin, and mix well, massaging the seasoning into the meat with fingers. Let the meat marinate for at least an hour, or refrigerate overnight.
• Heat the oil in a wide cast iron skillet over medium heat. When the oil looks wavy, add the meat and let it sizzle, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Turn off the heat and keep meat warm.
• Heat the tortillas on an ungreased hot griddle or cast iron pan. Turn them once or twice until hot and slightly puffed. As they come off the griddle, stack them on a cloth napkin to steam, with another napkin on top.
• To assemble the tacos, stack 2 hot tortillas on a plate. Spoon on a little sizzled pork, then top with a spoonful of tomatillo salsa and another of salsa cruda. Garnish with radishes and cilantro sprigs. Serve and eat immediately.

PORK AND CORN TACOS WITH CILANTRO-LIME CREMA

Steps:

• Prepare pickled vegetables: zest and juice the lime. Set zest aside for cilantro-lime crema. Combine lime juice with shallots, jalapeno, sugar, and salt in a small bowl; set aside. Stir occasionally while preparing the rest of the meal.
• Prepare cilantro-lime crema: combine reserved lime zest with sour cream, lime juice, cilantro, and ancho chili powder in a small bowl. Add water, a little at a time, until crema has a pourable consistency. Refrigerate until needed.
• Prepare charred corn: place frozen corn in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave on high until thawed, 2 to 3 minutes. Spread corn between two paper towels and blot to dry.
• Heat a large dry pan over medium-high heat. Spread corn evenly in the pan and roast until browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Stir and continue to cook until charred on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes more. Transfer to a serving bowl.
• Prepare pork tacos: combine butter and olive oil in the same pan over medium-high heat until butter has melted. Cook and stir pork in the hot pan until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in 4 teaspoons chile powder, taco seasoning, garlic powder, cumin, bouillon powder, salt, and pepper. Add water and cook until liquid has reduced and mixture has thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Taste and adjust spices as needed.
• While the liquid is reducing, drain the pickling juice from the vegetables and pour it into the corn. Stir in 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon chile powder, salt, and pepper.
• Fill warm tortillas with pork and corn. Top with pickled vegetables and drizzle with crema.
