CHIPOTLE PORK TACOS

Category: Sandwiches

1 pound pork tenderloin, sliced thin
1 1/2 tsp grated lime zest
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
2 tsp minced fresh oregano, or a heaping 1/2 tsp dry
1 tsp brown sugar
2 tsp chopped chipotle chiles in adobo sauce (use the peppers for heat and the adobo sauce for a mild smoky bite. I used 1 1/2 tbsp of sauce and no peppers and it was hardly spicy at all.)
2 tsp bottled minced garlic
1/4 tsp kosher salt
3 tsp olive oil, divided
1 cup thinly sliced shallots, or onions
8 (6 inch) corn tortillas
Sour cream
Chopped cilantro

Combine thinly sliced pork, lime zest, lime juice, oregano, brown sugar, chipotles, garlic, and salt. Set aside. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tsp olive oil. Add onions and saute for 4 minutes or until tender. Remove from pan and set aside. Add 2 tsp olive oil to pan and add pork mixture. Saute for 3-4 minutes or until no longer pink. Add pork to onions. Warm tortillas on a hot grill and fill with pork mixture. Top with sour cream and cilantro. Serves 4.
