This meal can go from kitchen to table in 20 minutes

Perfect for those nights when you don’t have a lot of time but crave and deserve an interesting, flavourful meal. Speedy pork tacos with black beans and avocado. Hmmmmm! Just the name alone gives you a sense of how tasty this recipe will be. And is very easy to prepare once you have all the ingredient ready. Spice ground pork with lime, pineapple, and black beans, piled high with diced avocado. Brown the meat, toast your spices, and pile everything in a tortilla. Wash down with a margarita.

Ingredients:

Serves 4 to 6

Preparation:

1. In a large skillet, heat one tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and a large pinch of salt and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until they’ve softened, about 3 to 5 minutes. Push the onion and garlic to one side of the pan, and add the cumin, paprika, oregano, and cayenne. Let sizzle in the pan until they’re toasted and fragrant, about 1 minute, then stir well until the onions and garlic are evenly coated with the spices.

2. Add the ground pork to the pan. Cook over medium-high heat, breaking up any large chunks of pork and stirring occasionally, until the pork is just cooked through. Season with salt to taste. Remove any excess fat from the pan.

3. Add the coconut milk,  simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened, then stir in the black beans, pineapple juice and 1 tablespoon lime juice and cook for an additional minute or two. Taste and add more lime juice if needed. Adjust the seasoning to taste. You can serve right away, or cover the pan and let the pork gently simmer over low heat.

4. Using a slotted spoon, divide the ground pork equally among lightly warmed flour tortillas. Serve with lots of avocado and other toppings of your choice.
