Instructions

1. Wash and dry all produce. Halve, peel and finely dice the onion. Core, deseed and finely dice the green pepper. Zest the lime and quarter it. Trim the root end from the lettuce and separate the leaves. Gently crush the tortilla chips in their bag into small pieces.
2. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion, green pepper and ground pork. Season generously with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking the meat into pieces, until the pork is lightly browned and the onion is slightly softened, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in the fajita spice blend and cook for 30 seconds. Add the beef stock concentrate, ½ teaspoon sugar and 1 tablespoon water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pork is cooked through, 2-3 minutes more.
3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the sour cream, lime zest and juice from one lime wedge. Add water 1 teaspoon at a time until the mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Remove the pan from heat and sprinkle the Mexican cheese blend over the pork filling. Cover the pan and let sit until the cheese melts, about 1-2 minutes. Divide the lettuce leaves among plates. Fill each leaf with the pork mixture. Drizzle with the lime crema and sprinkle with crushed tortilla chips. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.

Recipe Tips

FAQ

Can I use a different protein instead of ground pork?

Yes, ground chicken, turkey or beef work well in this recipe. Adjust cooking time as needed to ensure the meat is fully cooked.

What can I substitute for sour cream in the lime crema?

Greek yogurt or a dairy-free alternative like coconut yogurt can be used instead of sour cream for a similar tangy flavor.

How do I store leftovers?

Store the pork filling, lime crema, lettuce leaves and crushed chips separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Assemble just before serving to keep the lettuce crisp.
