shredded meat

🥗Healthier: lean turkey or chicken

💰Cheaper: ground beef

Lean turkey or chicken is lower in fat.

Mince 1.5 lbs of pork meat using a meat grinder or buy pre-ground meat.

Heat a pot and add a splash of oil.

Add the minced pork to the pot.

Season the pork with a pinch of salt, garlic salt with parsley, and pepper to taste.

Add 4 cloves of garlic, minced, to the pork for flavor.

Stir the pork while it cooks to break it apart and ensure even cooking.

Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes for quicker cooking.

Continue to stir the pork, ensuring it cooks evenly and absorbs the spices.

Once the pork is nearly cooked, add a little water to help it cook through, especially since pork takes longer than beef.

Cover the pot and let the pork cook on low heat, stirring occasionally.

In another pot, boil the tomatoes and dried chiles to prepare the salsa.

Add 3 tomatoes, 15 dried chiles, and a piece of onion to the boiling water.

Once the pork is cooked, add the diced potatoes to the pot with the pork.

Stir the potatoes into the pork mixture and let them cook until tender.

While the potatoes are cooking, chop the lettuce and set it aside for serving.

Prepare to fry the tortillas by heating a pan with enough oil to fry them.

Once the oil is hot, start frying the tortillas, keeping them open to fill with the pork and potato mixture.

Carefully fold the tortillas over the filling and fry until golden brown on both sides.

Remove the tacos from the oil and drain on paper towels if desired.
