Pork Mince Fajitas - A modern twist on classic Mexican-inspired flavors, these fajitas are infused with rich, savory spices and vibrant colors, offering a delightful fusion of textures and tastes. Perfect for sharing and bringing a festive atmosphere to any gathering.
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork mince Choose higher quality for tender texture.
- 1 medium red onion Julienned for a delicate crunch.
- 2 medium bell peppers Thinly sliced, one red, one yellow.
- 2 cloves garlic Minced finely.
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon olive oil Extra virgin for richer flavor.
- 8 small flour tortillas Lightly warmed.
- 1 cup fresh cilantro Chopped, for garnish.
- 1 lime lime wedges For serving.
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat (180°C or 350°F). Add the pork mince and cook, stirring frequently, for about 5-7 minutes until browned and slightly crispy.
- While the pork is cooking, julienne the red onion and bell peppers, and mince the garlic.
- Add the red onion, bell peppers, and garlic to the skillet. Continue to cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
- Sprinkle the ground cumin and smoked paprika over the mixture. Stir well to coat the meat and vegetables with the spices. Cooking for another 3 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame, flipping to warm both sides without browning.
- Assemble the fajitas by adding a spoonful of the spiced pork and vegetable mixture onto each tortilla. Garnish with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime.
Notes
For a spicier kick, add a finely chopped jalapeno to the vegetable mix. For a gluten-free version, substitute corn tortillas.
