Mojo pork tacos with creamy cilantro slaw

2 servings prepared

Here's what you get:

Lime

Orange

Cilantro

Ground pork

Cumin

Chicken stock concentrate

Dried oregano

Garlic powder

Coleslaw mix

Mayonnaise

Sour cream

Flour tortilla (not used)

Substitutes:

Lime corn chips

The Cilantro slaw:

To make the slaw the mayonnaise, cilantro, sour cream, garlic powder and lime juice were added and tossed together. This was then salted and peppered to taste

The protein:

Half of the lime and all of the orange were juiced before cooking. The orange and lime juice were added to the cumin, stock concentrate, 1/2 tsp sugar, oregano and half the garlic powder.

In a non-stick pan the pork was added and cooked until browned. The mojo sauce was then poured over this and cooked until the juices were reduced.

The chips:

Instead of doing a taco dish this was turned into nachos by using lime tortilla chips. This was topped with a little bit of sour cream that had some lime juice and a bit of salt mixed in and then topped with scallion.

The plate:

Thia made a really great nacho dish. The only changes I would have made here was to add some sliced Peppers to fill out the meat a bit more. The slaw also went pretty well with the chips.

Bacon butter!

Making: Today I'll be making bacon butter. Whenever I make bacon I save the grease. Now that I have enough it will be turned into batches of bacon butter. I used about 2.75 sticks of butter total. Cut into jars then I let them sit until the butter was close to room temperature. The bacon fat I have collected (Stored in the refrigerator) was heated in bits over a double boiler until liquified but not too hot. The melted bacon fat was poured over the butter. You can use a strainer to get rid of and chunky bits and then mixed until well incorporated. The smaller jars have just over 3 oz butter. The bigger jar has 4.3 oz butter. Here are the finished jars. These will be stored in the fridge and used to cook veggies and sear meats. You could also put herbs in the jar for different flavors. - Kris
