Tips and Tricks
Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh onions, tomatoes, and spices will enhance the flavor of your tacos.
Customize Your Toppings: Add your favorite toppings like avocado, sour cream, shredded cheese, or salsa to make the tacos even more delicious.
Warm the Taco Shells: For extra crunch, warm the hard taco shells in the oven for a few minutes before filling them.
Drain Excess Fat: After browning the ground pork, drain any excess fat to avoid greasy tacos.
Prepare in Advance: Make the ground pork mixture ahead of time and store it in the fridge. Reheat when you’re ready to serve.
Double the Batch: Make a double batch of the filling and freeze half for a quick meal later on.
Mix Up the Protein: Try using ground turkey or chicken as a lighter alternative to ground pork.
Spice Level: Adjust the amount of chili powder based on your heat preference. Add a bit of hot sauce if you like it spicier.
Serve with Lime: A squeeze of fresh lime juice over the tacos can add a nice tangy flavor.
Healthy Additions: Add some chopped lettuce or spinach for a fresh, healthy crunch.
