Go south of the border… and then go even further south of the border for taco night. These super-quick numbers are inspired by South American flavours, like the ground pork deeply dosed with chimichurri-style seasonings—onion, cayenne, dried herbs, sí, sí, sí! The slaw is a real draw, with sunny Cara Cara orange shining amidst zingy cabbage and cukes. A luscious blend of sour cream and avocado purée treats your tongue to some luxury.

Preparation
Cook the pork
In a medium pan, heat a generous drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the pork* and garlic; season with all but a pinch of the spices and S&P. Cook, breaking up the meat, 4 to 6 min., until browned and cooked through.
Make the slaw
Meanwhile, cut off the top and bottom of the orange; cut away the peel and white pith. Thinly slice, then quarter. Halve the cucumbers lengthwise; thinly slice crosswise on an angle. In a large bowl, combine the vinegar, 2 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions) and S&P. Add the cabbage, cucumbers and orange; toss well.
Make the avocado cream
In a small bowl, combine the avocado purée, sour cream, remaining spices and S&P.
Warm the tortillas
Wrap the tortillas in a slightly dampened paper towel. On a plate, microwave, in 10 sec. increments, until warm.
Plate your dish
Divide the tortillas between your plates. Spread with the avocado cream. Top with the pork and a spoonful of the slaw. Serve the remaining slaw on the side. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground pork to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
