Instructions

4 steps
  1. 1

    Wash and dry all produce.

    Halve orange. Halve 1 lime and quarter remaining lime. Roughly chop cilantro.

    Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over high heat. Add pork* and season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned, 3-5 minutes (it’ll finish cooking in the next step).

    4 SERVINGS: Halve both oranges. Halve 2 limes and quarter remaining limes.

    TIP: If there’s excess grease in your pan, carefully pour it out.

  2. 2

    While pork cooks, squeeze juice from whole orange and 1 lime half into a small bowl. Stir in cumin, stock concentrates, oregano, half the garlic powder (you’ll use more in the next step), and 1 tsp sugar.

    Once pork is browned, pour in mojo sauce. Cook until sauce has reduced and pork is cooked through, 2-3 minutes more. Turn off heat.

    4 SERVINGS: Squeeze in juice from both oranges and 1 lime. Use 2 tsp sugar.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, half the cilantro, 2 packets sour cream (save the rest for serving), and a pinch of remaining garlic powder to taste.

    Add coleslaw to bowl; toss to coat. Add a big squeeze of lime juice and season with salt and pepper.

    Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds.

    4 SERVINGS: Use 4 packets sour cream.

  4. 4

    Divide tortillas between plates and fill with pork mixture (leave any excess sauce in pan), slaw, and remaining sour cream. Garnish with remaining cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
