Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground pork
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 8 leaves Iceberg or romaine lettuce leaves
• 1 medium Avocado, diced
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.25 cup Sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional)
• 2 teaspoons Hot sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the ground pork to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Toss to evenly coat the pork in the seasoning.

Step 5

Cook for another 2 minutes to allow the spices to toast and blend with the pork.

Step 6

Drizzle the cooked pork with fresh lime juice, stir well, and remove the skillet from heat.

Step 7

To assemble the tacos, take a lettuce leaf and spoon a portion of the spicy pork mixture into the center.

Step 8

Top with diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and chopped cilantro.

Step 9

Add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt and a dash of hot sauce, if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb spicy pork tacos!
