Mikes Tex Mex Pork Tacos Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan, add the onion and cook for 5 mins until softened. Sprinkle over the spices and cook for 1 min more. Add the mince, breaking it up with the back of a wooden spoon, and stir until cooked through.
• Stir the passata and barbecue sauce into the pan along with 4 tbsp water. Increase the heat and allow the sauce to bubble and reduce until it clings to the meat. Add the beans, season and cook for a further 2 mins, then stir in the coriander. Heat the tacos following pack instructions.
• Use the pork and bean mix to fill the tacos, top with slices of avocado, shredded iceberg lettuce and a dollop of soured cream, if you like.

Steps:

• Taco meat: 1. Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium/high heat. Sauté onions and peppers until softened and starting to brown about 8-10 minutes. 2. Add meat and continue to cook at medium high heat until meat is browned. Cook for an additional 4 or 5 minutes to further brown and to reduce moisture. 3. Add beer and chili powder. Simmer for 3-4 minutes. 4. Add salsa verde and A-1 and continue to simmer at medium/high heat, stirring occasionally until all the liquid has cooked off and the remaining meat and sauce is pasty, caramelized and starting to brown like a fajita. 5. Set meat aside. Chimichanga style taco shells: 1. Heat oil 1⁄4" deep in a medium sauté pan. 2. Deep fry flour tortilla shells in olive oil. Fold in half while still soft before removing from pan. Top with your favorite toppings. I prefer white cheddar cheese or extra sharp cheddar cheese if white cheddar is not available, shredded romaine lettuce, diced tomatoes and salsa picante.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, cumin, chili powder and salt. Add the oil and mix well. Rub the pork chops with the mixture. (You can do this step and keep them in the fridge until the next day).
• Preheat the bbq to medium heat. Lightly oil the grill. Put the pork chops on the grill. Close the cover of the bbq. Cook 5 to 7 minutes or until that the pork is a little bit pink inside. (turn the pork chops at mid cooking).

Steps:

• Put the marinade ingredients in a large, zip-seal freezer bag and squish until well combined. Add the pork and onion, ensuring they're well coated. Seal and put in the fridge overnight.
• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Transfer the pork and its marinade to a medium casserole dish. Cover with a lid and place in the oven for 4-5 hrs or until the pork is very tender and falls apart when poked with a fork.
• To make the pickled onions, put the sliced red onions in a heatproof bowl. Cover with just-boiled water and leave to stand for 10 mins. Drain well, then stir in the white wine vinegar or cider vinegar and caster sugar. Stand for at least 10 mins before serving.
• Drain the pork in a colander, reserving the marinade, then transfer the pork to a board. Shred the pork with two forks, drizzle over 4-5 tbsp of the reserved marinade, and serve from the board with the pickled red onions, warmed corn tacos, shredded lettuce and soured cream.
