1 small bunch cilantro

6 Gala apples

3 cloves garlic

1 ½ jalapeño peppers

1.02 kg lean ground pork

3 limes

18 small corn tortillas

1 ½ (142 g) pkgs spring mix (mixed greens)

1 ½ yellow bell peppers

apple cider vinegar

black pepper

chili powder

cumin, ground

extra virgin olive oil

hot sauce

salt

Instructions

Wash and dry the fresh produce. (Skip the mixed greens if they came pre-washed.)

Juice half of the limes into a medium bowl. (Cut remaining limes into wedges and set aside for serving.)

Quarter jalapeño peppers lengthwise; seed and remove ribs with a spoon to reduce spice level, then mince. Add to the bowl with the lime juice. (Be careful with jalapeños; do not touch your eyes and ensure you wash your hands after handling or wear gloves while preparing.)

Quarter, core, and small dice apples. Add to the bowl.

Shave cilantro leaves off the stems; discard stems and mince the leaves. Add to the bowl along with salt and pepper. Stir to combine the salsa and set aside.

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

While the skillet heats up, peel and mince garlic.

Once the skillet is hot, add garlic, pork, and spices; cook, breaking the meat apart with a spoon, until browned and crumbly, 5-6 minutes.

Meanwhile, place oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk to combine the dressing.

Trim, seed, and cut bell peppers into bite-sized pieces. Add to the bowl with the dressing, along with the mixed greens, and toss to combine the salad. Set aside.

When the pork is done, add hot sauce to the skillet, stir to combine, and remove from heat.

Warm tortillas in another skillet, oven, or microwave (optional).

Divide tortillas between plates, then fill with spicy pork and apple salsa. Serve with salad on the side and lime wedges for squeezing. Enjoy!
