Spicy Mango Pork Tacos Recipe

Today’s Recipe: Spicy Mango Pork Tacos

As the weather transitions from summer to fall, I find myself craving a dish that combines the vibrant flavors of the tropics with the hearty comfort of a taco. That’s why today, I’m excited to share my recipe for Spicy Mango Pork Tacos. This unique twist on a classic taco features tender shredded pork infused with a spicy mango marinade, topped with crunchy slaw and a zesty lime crema.

Ingredients:

• pork shoulder (500g)
• mango (1, diced)
• jalapeno (1, diced)
• garlic (3 cloves, minced)
• lime juice (2 tbsp)
• cumin (1 tsp)
• paprika (1 tsp)
• salt (1 tsp)
• black pepper (1/2 tsp)
• tortillas
• slaw mix
• sour cream (1/2 cup)
• lime zest

Kitchen Tools:

• slow cooker
• knife
• cutting board
• blender

To start, place the pork shoulder in the slow cooker. In a blender, combine the diced mango, jalapeno, minced garlic, lime juice, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth, then pour the marinade over the pork. Cook on low for 6-8 hours until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

While the pork is cooking, prepare the slaw by mixing the slaw mix with a bit of lime juice and salt. In a small bowl, combine the sour cream with lime zest for the lime crema.

Once the pork is done, shred it with two forks and mix it with the remaining marinade in the slow cooker for extra flavor. Heat the tortillas in a skillet until warm and slightly charred.

To assemble the tacos, fill each tortilla with a generous helping of the shredded spicy mango pork, top with the slaw, and drizzle with the lime crema. Serve hot and enjoy the burst of flavors in each bite!

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 1200g, with 6 servings at 200g each. Each serving contains approximately 350 calories.

One unusual tip for this recipe is to add a splash of tequila to the marinade for an extra depth of flavor. The alcohol will cook off during the slow cooking process, leaving behind a rich and complex taste.

I hope you give these Spicy Mango Pork Tacos a try and feel free to customize them with your favorite toppings or additional spices. Happy cooking!
