Description

These Pork Tacos are a flavorful twist on a classic favorite, featuring seasoned ground pork that is cooked until crispy and savory. The dish is elevated with a rich, creamy sauce made from evaporated milk and cornstarch, balanced by the zesty kick of dry mustard and fresh scallions. Served on hearty whole-wheat tortillas, these tacos offer a satisfying mix of textures and flavors. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a casual family gathering, they bring a comforting, home-style vibe to the table. The combination of tender pork, sharp cheese, and aromatic spices makes every bite delicious and fulfilling.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the evaporated skim milk, cornstarch, dry mustard, black pepper, and nutmeg until smooth to create the sauce base.
  2. Heat the SmartSpread in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork (assumed from title) and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Pour the milk and cornstarch mixture into the skillet with the pork. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens and coats the meat, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Stir in the chopped turkey ham and egg substitute mixture into the skillet. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until heated through and combined.
  5. Warm the whole-wheat tortillas in a separate dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
  6. Divide the pork mixture evenly among the tortillas. Top with grated Swiss cheese, mozzarella cheese, and fresh chopped scallions.
  7. Fold the tortillas in half or roll them up. Serve immediately while hot and cheese is melted.
