here's a good homegrown taco that is mostly El Paso-free. I like their premade shells the best, so I always use them. One day I will make my own taco shells though. I already have the Masa corn flour.
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 pound of ground pork
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp dried oregano
1 jalapeno pepper, minced
1 tsp Cayenne (optional for added heat)
3/4 cup frozen corn.
1 small onion, diced
1-3 cloves of garlic, minced (depending on the size)
1. Heat oil in non-stick skillet
2. add onion and cook until fragrant and translucent.
3. add pork and brown
4. add garlic, jalapeno, and frozen corn when pork is mostly browned
5. fry for another 3 min or so
6. add cumin, chili powder, cayenne, salt and mix into meat mixture. Add a tbsp of water if it is too dry. The bit of fat from the pork should be enough to help coat the pork.
To Serve:
Heat your shells in the oven at 350 for about 5 minutes. Add a couple of tablespoons of meat mixture to the taco. Top with cheese and your favourite toppings (diced onion, diced tomato, avocado, green onion, lettuce) and of course the BEST sour cream money can buy. We use Liberté Sour Cream. If you can find that, it is THE BEST! Super thick. And for the ultimate topper....Sriracha chinese chili sauce!
