Ingredients
Scaled from 8 servings
- 1 pound ground pork
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- ½ tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
- 4 small green onions (very finely chopped, about ¼ cup)
- 4 garlic cloves minced (about 4 teaspoons)
- 2 tablespoons minced ginger
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 8 small (street taco) flour tortillas
- Thinly sliced cabbage
- Shredded carrots
- Chopped green onion
- Cilantro
Instructions
-
Place the pork in a medium bowl. Top with the vinegar, soy sauce, green onion, garlic, ginger, and salt. With a fork or your hands, mix gently to combine.
-
Place a tortilla on a work surface. Scoop one-eight of the filling into the center, then with the back of a spoon or your fingers, spread it into a thin, even layer. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
-
Heat a cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium high. Place a tortilla in the skillet meat-side down, then with the back of a very sturdy spatula or a burger press, smash the tortilla into the meat, twisting back and forth a bit, so the meat spreads even more thinly. Cook on the first side until the meat is browned and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. If your skillet is large, you can cook multiple tacos at a time, just make sure the tortillas don't overlap.
-
Flip and cook on the other side until the tortilla is golden, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Serve with your toppings of choice.
