Ingredients

  • 1 Lb Ground Pork
  • 1/2 T Minced Garlic
  • 1 t Ground Cumin
  • 1 t Oregano
  • 1/2 t Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 t Onion Powder
  • 1/2 t Salt
  • 1/4 t Pepper
  • Zest of half an orange
  • 1 T Fresh Orange juice
  • 1 t Lime Juice
  • 8 Small Low Carb Tortillas
  • Ham Slices
  • Pickle Slices
  • Swiss Cheese Slices

Mustard Cream

  • 1/4 C Non-fat Greek Yogurt
  • 2 T Dijon Mustard
  • 1 t Lime Juice
  • 1 t Pickle Juice
  • 1/4 t Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 t Pepper
  • 1/4 t Salt

Instructions

  • Apparently I did not geta picture of the meat and seasoning. I was preparing the components of the whole meal, I apologize for that. Mix your meat and seasonings in a bowl. Once mixed, carefully spread a thin layer of the meat on the 8 tortillas. If you used fajita sized, you might end up with more smash tacos.
  • In a large skillet (a griddle is preferrable) over medium heat start cooking them meat side down. Cook between 3-5 minutes, depending on how thick the meat layer is. When cooked, flip.
  • I used sandwich slices of Swiss cheese. I broke the cheese to fit down the middle of the taco.
  • And then top with 2 slices of thin ham.
  • After a minute or two, fold in half.
  • Make the mustard crema. Taste. Add more of anything you think it might need. Assemble tacos. I didn't get pictures of this, just the final product.
  • Add the pickles inside the tacos and top with the crema.
  • Serve as desired. I served with a slaw inspired by this recipe and some Cuban black beans.
