Today’s Culinary Invention: Citrus-infused Pork Tacos

Hello, fellow foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that combines the zesty freshness of citrus with the richness of tender pork in a delightful taco filling. This dish is perfect for a casual summer gathering or simply when you’re craving something flavorful and satisfying.

For this unique recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 500g pork shoulder, cubed
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 lime
  • 1 orange
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 8 taco shells
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Handful of cilantro leaves

To prepare this dish, start by marinating the cubed pork shoulder in the juice of the lemon, lime, and orange, along with the minced garlic, cumin powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Let the pork marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the marinated pork and cook until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. The citrus-infused marinade will create a fragrant aroma that will have your mouth watering.

While the pork is cooking, warm the taco shells in the oven according to the package instructions. Once the pork is done, assemble the tacos by filling each shell with a generous portion of the citrus-infused pork. Top with sliced avocado and fresh cilantro leaves for a burst of freshness and color.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 1200g, with enough for 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 300g and contains approximately 400 calories.

One clever tip to make this dish even more flavorful is to reserve some of the citrus marinade before adding it to the pork. Drizzle a little of the reserved marinade over the assembled tacos for an extra citrus kick right before serving.

I hope you give these citrus-infused pork tacos a try and enjoy them as much as I do! Feel free to customize the recipe with your favorite toppings or add a spicy salsa for an extra kick. Happy cooking!
