    Sweet ‘n Spicy Pork Tacos

    1
    By Alisa Fleming on October 4, 2013 Dairy-Free Recipes, Entrees

    These pork tacos are prepared Southwestern-style with a flavor combination of honey and spice.

    Southwest Pork Tacos

    To ensure your pork tacos are juicy and tender, cook the chops to an internal temperature of 145°F with a 3-minute rest. They can be sizzled in a skillet, or grilled.

    Special Diet Notes & Options: Pork Tacos

    These pork tacos are dairy-free / non-dairy, egg-free, nut-free, peanut-free, and gluten-free (as long as you use the wheat-free tamari!)

    For soy-free, coconut aminos are available as a substitute for soy sauce, or you could omit and season with a little salt.

    For accompaniments, note that there are a few brands of dairy-free sour cream on the market, but we prefer to use my homemade cashew sour cream, guacamole (which is usually dairy-free; check the ingredients or make your own!), or simply avocado slices. For a tasty allergy-friendly side dish, add a rice pilaf with fresh cilantro.

    This recipe was shared with us by the National Pork Board.

    Serves: 4 servings
    Ingredients
    • 1 tablespoon honey
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
    • 1 teaspoon soy sauce or wheat-free tamari (for gluten-free)
    • ½ teaspoon ground chipotle pepper (smoked or plain paprika can be used as an alternative)
    • 1 pound thinly-cut boneless pork chops (1/2-inch thick), cut into strips
    • 8 small corn tortillas, warmed
    • 1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
    • 1 cup pico de gallo (or your favorite salsa)
    • Dairy-free sour cream, avocado, or guacamole (optional)
    Instructions
    1. Combine the honey, olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce and ground chipotle pepper in a medium bowl, and whisk to combine.
    2. Add the sliced pork to the marinade and let it sit for 15 minutes.
    3. Heat a skillet over high heat. Add the slices of pork to the skillet and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, flipping with tongs in the middle of the cooking process. Once cooked, remove the pork to a plate.
    4. Arrange the corn tortillas on a platter. Sprinkle each with equal amounts of shredded lettuce and pico de gallo. Arrange a few pieces of pork on top of each taco, and top with dairy-free sour cream, avocado, or guacamole, if desired.
