Cooking Steps

Prep Ingredients

Wash and dry produce. Halve, peel, and finely dice onion. Finely chop cilantro. Quarter lemon.

Cook Onion & Pork

Heat a drizzle of cooking 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, about 2-3 minutes. Add ground 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

While pork cooks, in a large bowl, combine shredded red cabbage, mayonnaise (2 TBSP | 4 TBSP), half the cilantro, juice from half the lemon (whole lemon for 4 servings), 1 tsp sugar (2 tsp for 4), and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Finish Pork

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

Warm Tortillas

Wrap flour tortillas (4 oz | 8 oz) in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, about 30 seconds.

Assemble and Serve

Divide tortillas between plates and fill with pork filling, Monterey Jack cheese (½ Cup | 1 Cup), slaw, sour cream, and remaining cilantro. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side.
