Preparation
Mise en place
In a small bowl, combine the avocado purée, sour cream and S&P. Core and small-dice the poblano.
Cook the poblano & pork
In a medium pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Sauté the poblano and ⅔ of the garlic, 1 to 2 min., until fragrant and beginning to soften. Add the pork*; season with all but a pinch of the spices and S&P. Cook, breaking up the meat, 4 to 6 min., until cooked through.
Make the pico de gallo
Meanwhile, quarter the tomatoes. In a second small bowl, combine the tomatoes, remaining garlic and spices, a drizzle of oil and S&P.
Warm the tortillas
Wrap the tortillas in a slightly dampened paper towel. On a plate, microwave, in 10 sec. increments, until warm.
Plate your dish
Divide the tortillas between your plates. Spread with the avocado cream. Top with the pork-poblano mixture and pico de gallo. Garnish with the cheese. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground pork to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
