Montego’s Soft Pork Taco w/ Mango Salsa

Who doesn’t love a good soft taco? Well, I most definitely do, so you know I was going to put together something special. If you don’t want to use pork, feel free to use chicken in its place.

This is a dish that’s surprisingly light on the stomach, with just enough sweet and spice to make it nice.

Ingredients

Mango salsa

• 1 cup diced mango
• 1/4 cup minced shallots
• 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1 tomato, diced

Tacos

• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin, cut into small cubes
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 (1 ounce) package Montego’s Special Seasoning
• 12 (6-inch) corn tortillas, warmed

Directions

1. Make the salsa: combine the mango, shallots, cilantro, lime juice and tomato in a medium bowl and stir until well blended. Cover and chill.
2. In a bowl, mix the cubed pork tenderloin with half the package of Montego’s Special Seasoning and 1 tablespoon of the canola oil. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 45 minutes to an hour.
3. Heat the remaining oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
4. Add the pork and cook for 4 minutes, or until it loses its pink color, stirring occasionally. Stir in the rest of the Montego’s Special Seasoning and the cumin.
5. Cover, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Uncover and simmer for 10 more minutes, or until the liquid is nearly evaporated.
6. Warm the tortillas according to the package directions. Serve the pork with the tortillas, mango salsa and toppings.
