Contents of your meal kit:
pork loin
al pastor marinade
mango
cucumber
chopped onion & cilantro
lime
pepper & onion mix
corn tortillas
fresh tomatillo salsa
Cookware needed: (2) mixing bowls, large skillet
Finishing steps:
- Cut pork into thin strips. In a mixing bowl, rub the al pastor marinade all over the meat (see note), sprinkle with salt & pepper.
- Cut mango and cucumber into bite-sized chunks. Place in a second mixing bowl along with a heavy sprinkle of chopped onion & cilantro (reserving the rest for later), and a squeeze of lime. Mix to combine, set aside.
- Heat a small amount of oil in a skillet over med-high heat. Add sliced pepper & onion mix, season with salt & pepper, and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer vegetables to a serving bowl and cover to keep warm.
- If necessary, add additional oil to the skillet before adding pork in a single layer. Sear 3-4 minutes or until done to your liking, turning occasionally. Transfer pork to a cutting board and let rest.
- Warm the tortillas. If you have a gas stove, you can do this by placing the tortilla directly over the burner and turning with tongs. Don’t step away…they char quickly. Alternatively, you can warm in a dry skillet or the microwave.
- Chop the pork al pastor into small chunks, and divide between tortillas. Top with remaining chopped onion & cilantro and tomatillo salsa. You can serve the pepper & onion sauté and the mango salad on the side – or for a different variation, try piling it all into the tacos!
Note: The marinade is very spicy, so use the amount that works for your heat tolerance (we loved it spicy!).
