Ingredients

1lb of ground pork

2 tbsp of Olive oil

Fresh Garlic or Garlic powder

Old El Paso Taco seasoning

Old El Paso mini taco shells

½ package of Refried Beans

Shredded Cheese

Goya Yellow Rice

Avocado cut in chunks

Pico de Gallo

For all of the above ingredients, you can use your choice of Taco seasoning and refried beans. I prefer to cook my own yellow rice, but for the sake of saving time, I used Goya yellow rice and it was also very good. You can also choose to use ground beef, but make sure whatever choice ground meat you use, it is lean. I also prefer the packaged refried beans instead of the canned. You can buy Pico de Gallo at the grocery store, but I prefer to prepare my own. Below I have listed my Pico de Gallo recipe.

Cooking Instructions:

Cook yellow rice per package instructions or how you prefer to cook your own. While the rice cooks, prepare the ground pork.

Cook the garlic with the olive oil. Garlic has a tendency to cook and burn quickly, so cook on low heat and cook until golden brown. Add the ground pork to the olive oil. Once cooked, drain any excess water and add taco seasoning mix per package instructions. Keep on low heat to maintain warmth.

Next, you are going to prepare the refried beans. These should come pre-cooked. In order to get a smooth consistency, use 2 to 3 tablespoons of olive oil and pour at least ½ package of the refried beans.

Once the rice is cooked, place on low heat and line up your mini tacos. Start by adding a layer of refried beans, followed by yellow rice, ground pork, Pico de Gallo, avocado chunks, and shredded cheese.

 

Pico de Gallo Recipe

1 red pepper

1 green pepper

1 jalapeno pepper

2 cloves of garlic

½ small onion

½ lime

1 small tomatoes

Chopped cilantro (this is a tricky one since cilantro can be bitter, careful to only add a few leaves cut in chunks) 

Preparation:

Dice your vegetables in small squares. The garlic you might want to mash or even better, mince. Add all your ingredients in a bowl and add the fresh squeezed lemon juice. Refrigerate and let sit for 12 to 24 hours. Use in tacos, over grilled meat or chicken. Makes a delicious side to yellow rice, refried beans and grilled steak.
