step 1

ingredients 2 tablespoon Olive Oil

instructions For the filling: Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sweat until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
step 2

ingredients 1 pound Ground Pork

instructions Add the ground pork and cook, breaking up as it browns, until browned completely, about 5-10 minutes. Drain the meat but do not clean pan.
step 3

ingredients 1 tablespoon Chili Powder
2 teaspoon Cumin
2 teaspoon Coriander
1 cup Tomato Sauce
1 Jalapeno (seeded and minced)

instructions Return the skillet to the heat and add the meat back to the skillet, along with the spices. Mix well and then add the tomato sauce and jalapeno. Simmer and allow to reduce slightly, about 10-15 minutes. Check and adjust seasoning.
step 4

1 dozen Corn Tortillas

instructions For the Shells: Preheat oil to 375 degrees F. Using a cookie cutter, cut circles out of the tortillas. Submerge the tortilla cut-outs into the oil, folded over a wooden spoon to create taco shell shape. Transfer to paper towel lined plate to serve.
