Sweet Chili Pork Tacos

 We tried an EveryPlate subscription and it was probably our favorite food delivery subscription that we've tried yet. This was my favorite recipe from the box.

Source: EveryPlate

Ingredients:
1 lb Ground Pork
10 small flour tortillas
2 tbs Sweet Thai Chili Sauce
1/2 head shredded red cabbage
1/4 cup unsalted peanuts
1 lime, quartered
1/2 c Sour Cream
Cornstarch
2 tsp Ponzu Sauce
Garlic, minced
Salt & Pepper, to taste
1 tsp Sugar
Vegetable Oil

Directions: 
1. Wash and dry cabbage and lime. Zest and quarter lime. Peel and mince garlic. Toast peanuts in a dry pan (the pan you'll use to cook your meat), for 2-4 minutes. You'll know they're done when you can smell their nutty smell and they start to release their natural oils. Roughly chop peanuts. 

2. In a small bowl, stir together juice from half the lime, 1 tsp sugar, and a pinch of salt and pepper until sugar and salt have mostly dissolved. Add 1/4 of the cabbage and a pinch of lime zest; toss to combine.

In a separate small bowl, combine sour cream, 1/2 tsp garlic, a large pinch of lime zest, and salt and pepper. Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. 

3. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned, 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add remaining cabbage and remaining garlic; cook until cabbage is wilted and pork is cooked through, 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. 

Add 2tbs chili sauce. 2 tsp ponzu sauce, 1 Tbs cornstarch, and 1/2 cup water to pan with pork mixture. Cook, stirring, until sauce has thickened, 2-3 minutes. Turn off heat. 

4. Warm tortillas on an electric skillet. Divide tortillas between plates; fill with pork mixture, cabbage slaw, crema, and peanuts. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.
