EASY PORK TACOS
SERVES 4
TOTAL TIME: 25 minutes
We prefer fresh, ripe mangos here, but you can substitute 2 cups frozen mangos, thawed and chopped as directed. If your mangos are unripe (whether fresh or frozen), add sugar to the salsa in step 1 as needed. See the photos that follow the recipe.

1. Combine mangos, half of onion, ¼ cup cilantro, 1 tablespoon lime juice, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper in bowl.
2. Heat oil in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add ground pork, chipotle, and remaining onion and cook, breaking up pork with wooden spoon, until pork is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Off heat, stir in Monterey Jack, remaining ¼ cup cilantro, and remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Meanwhile, stack tortillas on plate, cover, and microwave until warm and soft, about 2 minutes. Serve pork taco filling with warm tortillas and mango salsa.
