Why This Recipe Works

Sazón seasoning contributed both savory flavor and vibrant color to these tacos, while a fresh citrus salsa cut through the rich pork.

Before You Begin

We like to serve these tacos with diced avocado and finely shredded cabbage.

Instructions

  1. Cut away peel and pith from oranges. Holding fruit over bowl, use paring knife to slice between membranes to release segments into bowl. Add onion, cilantro, serrano, lime juice, and ½ teaspoon salt and toss to combine. Set aside salsa.
  2. Combine pork, Sazón, and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt in 12-inch nonstick skillet and cook over medium-high heat, breaking up meat with wooden spoon, until cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and chipotle and cook until paste darkens, about 1 minute. Stir in water and cook until sauce thickens and coats meat, about 2 minutes.
  3. Divide filling evenly among tortillas and top with salsa. Serve with lime wedges.
