Kevin's Tasty Pork Tacos

Recipe from GillianIvy



For Mother's Day, Kevin made his ultra tasty pork taco recipe he had made up. He had played around with some things we had and threw together this the last time, so this time we took some approximate measurement notes. It came out really yummy and good, tho we used a different tortilla shell which kinda ruined the overall flavor.

This has become a favorite meal of mine. You can substitute pork with chicken or beef. I love this recipe so much I wanted to share it here. So please enjoy "Kevin's Tasty Pork Tacos". This recipe calls for a meat hammer, if you don't have one, you can tenderize your meat by placing in plastic wrap or between two thin flexible cutting boards and mashing with a rolling pin or equally heavy bludgeoning object. Good way to get rid of tension and aggression. Try to get the meat as flat as you can without it falling apart or anything.


Kevin's Tasty Pork Tacos



  • 2 McCormick Taco Seasoning Packets
  • 2 tbsp. Butter/Margarine melted
  • 3 tbsp. (or more to taste) Sugar
  • splash or so of water for consistency
  • 2-3 lbs. Pork, Chicken or Beef Strip cuts with minimal fat

    1. Tenderize your meat using a meat hammer until it's real thin. Then cut into thin strips about ¼" thick. Slice off any fat and place in skillet to grease slightly, discard fat.
    2. In a medium bowl, empty about ¾'s of one packet of seasoning. Mix in meat until thoroughly coated. Place strips on skillet, in an even layer, do batches if your pan isn't big enough, you don't want meat to cook together or not get cooked evenly.
    3. In a small bowl, mix your melted butter, seasoning, and sugar until smooth. Add in enough water to get a fairly liquid consistency. If you add too much, it's okay, you can cook off the excess.
    4. Cook meat thoroughly then drizzle the mix over the meat, covering completely. Heat everything back up, stirring to keep from burning.
    5. Serve on tortilla shells (we prefer soft) with your favorite toppings, cheese, lettuce, tomato, etc. Enjoy!
