Birria-Style Pork Tacos with Pico de Gallo Recipe

Birria-Style Pork Tacos with Pico de Gallo recipe
HelloFresh

This taco night takes the classic, bold flavors of birria—the typically slow-cooked taco—but speeds things up with ground pork stewed (quickly!) in a rich, flavorful birria-inspired broth. No taco night is complete without its special toppings, either. This Taco Tuesday (or Wednesday, or Thursday, you pick!) you’ll melt mozzarella cheese over your meat, then top the crispy tacos with homemade pico de gallo, more birria-style broth and lime juice. This is one meal to taco-bout for days.

Ingredients

8 ounce Pulled Pork
6 unit Flour Tortillas
½ cup Mozzarella Cheese
1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
1 unit Roma Tomato
¼ ounce Cilantro
1 unit Lime
1 tablespoon Southwest Spice Blend
1 unit Chicken Stock Concentrate
1 unit Pork Ramen Stock Concentrate
2 teaspoon Cooking Oil
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
Salt
Pepper
1 tablespoon Butter

Method

1
• Wash and dry produce.
2
• Finely dice tomato. Roughly chop
3
cilantro. Zest half the lime; quarter
4
lime (for 4 servings, zest one lime and
5
quarter both).
6
• Drain and roughly chop pulled pork*
7
into smaller pieces.
8
• Heat a large drizzle of oil in a medium
9
pan over medium-high heat. Add
10
pork, Southwest Spice, paprika, and
11
¼ tsp salt (½ tsp for 4 servings). Cook,
12
stirring, until pork is warmed through,
13
2-3 minutes.
14
• Stir in chicken stock concentrate,
15
pork ramen stock concentrate, and
16
¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4). Bring to
17
a simmer and cook until broth has
18
thickened, 4-5 minutes. Taste and
19
season with salt and pepper if needed.
20
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer pork
21
filling to a medium bowl, leaving
22
broth behind. Cook until broth has
23
reduced, 2-3 minutes. Remove from
24
heat; cover to keep warm.
25
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine
26
tomato, cilantro, lime zest, juice
27
from half the lime (whole lime for
28
4 servings), and 1 TBSP olive oil (2 TBSP
29
for 4). Season with salt and pepper.
30
• Place tortillas on a clean work surface.
31
Sprinkle one half of each tortilla with
32
mozzarella; top with pork filling. Fold
33
tortillas in half to create tacos.
34
• Melt 1 TBSP butter in a large,
35
preferably nonstick, pan over medium
36
heat. Add tacos and cook until
37
tortillas are crisped, 1-2 minutes per
38
side. TIP: Depending on the size of
39
your pan, you may need to work
40
in batches.
41
• Divide birria broth between small
42
serving bowls. TIP: If needed, return
43
pan to medium heat until broth is
44
warmed through before serving.
45
• Divide tacos between plates; serve
46
with pico de gallo (draining first),
47
remaining lime wedges, and birria
48
broth for dipping.
