Paleo Pork Carnitas Tacos
These Pork Carnitas Tacos are a great example of Mexican food gone healthy. Three things very important to me: pork, things that are easy, and Mexican food. This little dish hits on all three.
Servings: 2 or 4 tacos
Ingredients
- 15 oz Fully Cooked Pork Carnitas
- 4 large Collard Green Leaves
- 1/4 cup Chopped Purple Onion
- 1/4 cup Roughly Chopped Fresh Cilantro
- 2 Limes
Instructions
- Heat the carnitas in the microwave or stovetop (my preferred method).
- Wash the collard green leaves and pat dry.
- Cut the stem off of the collard green leaf – this is the part sticking out away from the rest of the leaf.
- Spoon about 3.5 oz of the pork carnitas into your collard green taco.
- Top with onion, cilantro, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
- Enjoy!
