Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground Pork (lean, preferably 80/20)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 tsp Fresh Ginger (finely grated (or 1/2 tsp dried ginger))
• 2 stalks Green Onions (white and green parts sliced)
• 2 tbsp Cilantro (chopped)
• 1 tbsp Soy Sauce (low‑sodium preferred)

• to taste Salt
• to taste Black Pepper
• 8 Small Flour Tortillas (6‑inch, soft)
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil (for skillet)
• optional Hot Sauce (to taste when serving)

Instructions

1. Prep Aromatics

   Finely mince the garlic, grate the ginger, slice the green onions (both white and green parts), and chop the cilantro. Set aside in a small bowl.

   Time: PT5M

2. Season the Pork

   In a large mixing bowl combine the ground pork, minced garlic, grated ginger, sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, soy sauce, sesame oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix gently until just combined; over‑mixing makes the meat tough.

   Time: PT5M

3. Spread Thin Layer on Tortilla

   Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 2‑3 oz of the seasoned pork onto the center and spread it out to the edges, creating a very thin layer (about 1 mm thick). Repeat with remaining tortillas.

   Time: PT5M

4. Cook the Pork

   Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium‑high heat until shimmering. Place the tortilla‑pork combo meat‑side down in the skillet. Cook 2‑3 minutes until the pork is fully cooked and the tortilla is lightly crisp.

   Time: PT3M

   Temperature: Medium‑high heat

5. Flip and Finish

   Flip the tortilla and cook the other side for an additional 1 minute just to warm through. Remove from skillet and place on a plate.

   Time: PT1M

   Temperature: Medium‑high heat

6. Assemble and Serve

   Fold the tortilla in half, drizzle with hot sauce if desired, and serve immediately. Repeat for remaining tacos.

   Time: PT1M
