If you’ve been a long time reader, you know that my family loves tacos. We, of course, eat tacos on Tuesday but you’ll find them on our menu other days as well. Or, we’ll be at the local Mexican restaurant ordering them on the weekend. Right now, I am trying to stick to my paleo diet so I’ve been making my tacos, like these paleo Korean pork tacos, at home.
You can find paleo tortillas in tons of stores now. But, if you want to make them at home, it is so easy. I found this recipe back when I was doing Whole30 and have been in love with it ever since.
Ingredients for Paleo Korean Pork Tacos:
1 lb ground pork
1 Tbsp fresh ground ginger
1 Tbsp garlic paste
1-2 Tbsp Gochujang {based on how spicy you want it}
Salt and Pepper
1/4 cup water
2 radishes, thinly sliced
3/4 cup shredded purple cabbage
2 Tbsp rice vinegar
1/2 Tbsp sesame oil
Paleo tortillas
Let’s Make It:
1. Heat medium skillet over medium high heat. Add pork and cook, stirring to crumble, until browned. Stir in ginger, garlic paste, Gochujang, salt and pepper. Cook for one minute. Stir in water and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
2. While pork cooks, whisk together rice vinegar and sesame oil. Toss with shredded cabbage. Set aside.
3. Divide pork between tortillas. Top with radishes and cabbage mixture. Serve immediately.
We have had these Korean pork tacos several times and they are so good every time. I love how easy they are to make and that they can be ready in under 30 minutes making them perfect for weeknights.
