Directions
- Wash and dry the produce, then quarter the tomatoes and add them to a medium bowl.
- Shave the cilantro leaves from the stems, mince them, and split: add half to the tomato bowl and reserve the rest for the guacamole.
- Quarter the jalapeño, remove seeds and membranes, finely dice it, and mix it into the tomato bowl.
- Peel and dice the red onion; add it to the tomato bowl.
- Peel and mince the garlic and divide: half goes into the tomato bowl, half into a small bowl for the guacamole base.
- Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and dice the flesh; place it in the small bowl and set aside.
- Juice the lime and divide the juice between the tomato bowl and the guacamole bowl.
- Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Slice the pork chops into thin strips; season with chili powder, salt, and pepper.
- Add coconut oil to the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom; cook the pork strips about 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through.
- Season the tomato mixture with salt and mix; mash the guacamole with a fork and season with salt and pepper.
- Wrap the tortillas in a damp towel and microwave 30–60 seconds until warmed.
- To serve, spread guacamole on each tortilla, add pork strips, and top with pico de gallo.
Two tips
- Pico de gallo and guacamole can be made ahead and kept in separate containers to save time later.
- Squeeze extra lime juice over the finished tacos for a bright finish.
