Ingredients

• 1 pound ground pork
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 8 leaves romaine lettuce leaves
• 1 whole avocado
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
• 1 whole lime

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, oregano, ground cumin, ground coriander, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices coat the pork evenly.

Step 2

Add white vinegar to the pork mixture and stir until fully incorporated.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add coconut oil. Once melted, add the spiced pork mixture to the skillet.

Step 4

Cook the pork, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes or until fully cooked and slightly crispy.

Step 5

While the pork is cooking, prepare the toppings: halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the avocado, and rough-chop the cilantro.

Step 6

Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 7

To assemble the tacos, lay out the romaine lettuce leaves on a serving platter.

Step 8

Spoon the chorizo pork onto each lettuce leaf, then top with avocado, tomatoes, and cilantro.

Step 9

Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos just before serving. Enjoy your Paleo Chorizo Tacos!
