Ground Pork Tacos


This week's Taco Tuesday features a ground pork version. Did you know you can make your own taco seasoning mix from spices and herbs you probably have in your pantry right now? No need to buy those prepackaged mixes. Just take a few minutes and adjust the spicy/heat level to your preference.

1 1/2 lb. ground pork
1 T. chili powder
1 t. granulated garlic
1 t. onion powder
1 t. ground coriander
1/4 t. ground cayenne pepper
1/2 t. freshly ground black pepper
2 t. dried Mexican oregano, crumbled between your fingers
1/2 t. kosher salt
1 - 2 T. water

In a medium skillet, over medium-high heat, brown pork, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon.
 
When the pork is cooked completely through, add the seasonings and the water. Stir to combine and lower heat to low. Let simmer for 2 - 3 minutes.

Warm taco shells according to package directions and fill with the ground pork filling and your favorite toppings.
