Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Mexican     Main Dishes     Tacos

Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 25

1 medium lime
2 medium shallots, thinly sliced
1 medium jalapeno pepper, thinly sliced, or to taste
½ teaspoon white sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup sour cream
½ medium lime, juiced
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
½ teaspoon ancho chile powder
1 teaspoon water, or as needed
1 (16 ounce) package frozen corn kernels
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon ancho chile powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon salted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 pounds ground pork
4 teaspoons ancho chile powder
4 teaspoons taco seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup water
8 (6 inch) warm corn tortillas, or as needed

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.
