Tacos are always a crowd favourite! We’ve combined Mexican spiced pork meatballs with fresh and tangy coriander, lime salsa, smokey charred corn and creamy avocado and feta!
Ingredients
Pork meatballs
- 600g pork mince
- ⅓ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg (lightly whisked)
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp oregano
- ½ tsp chilli flakes
- Salt and pepper
- Olive oil (for frying)
Coriander, lemon salsa
- ½ cup coriander (finely chopped)
- 1 lemon (juice)
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 garlic clove (crushed)
Charred corn
- 1 cup frozen sweetcorn
- Salt and pepper
To serve
- Flour tortillas 8-12
- 1 avocado (sliced)
- 1 head petite cos (finely sliced)
- 125g sour cream
- 70g feta (crumbled)
- Pickled onions (optional)
Method
- Get started by preparing the meatballs, add all of the ingredients to a bowl and mix well to combine, we find it best to use our hands. Once combined, roll into meatballs just smaller than the size of a golf ball; set aside.
- To make the salsa, add all of the ingredients to a small bowl and mix well to combine.
- Heat a large fry pan over medium heat with a little olive oil. Once hot add the meatballs and let cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Once cooked, remove the meatballs from the pan and set aside while you cook the corn. Add the corn to the pan – no need to clean it as we want to corn to cook in the fat from the meatballs. Cook for 2-3 minutes over medium-high heat until golden brown and charred in places; season with salt and pepper.
- Time to assemble the tacos! Add a little sour cream to each tortilla then add a couple of meatballs, sliced avocado, lettuce, corn, and feta and spoon over some of the salsa. Top them off with a few pickled onions (if using) and enjoy!
Variations
Vegetables
- Swap out the lettuce for some shredded cabbage.
- Add some fresh chilli.
Protein
- Swap out the pork mince for beef mince or chicken mince.
- To make this vegetarian simply swap out the pork for 400g (rinsed and drained) black beans pan-fried in the same spices and some olive oil. We also suggest doubling the amount of corn.
Other
