• 1 Tbs fresh lime juice
• 2 tsp minced fresh oregano, or a heaping 1/2 tsp dry
• 1 tsp brown sugar
• 2 tsp chopped chipotle chiles in adobo sauce (use the peppers for heat and the adobo sauce for a mild smoky bite. I used 1 1/2 Tbs of sauce and no peppers and it was hardly spicy at all.)

• 3 tsp olive oil, divided
• 1 C thinly sliced shallots, or onions
• 8 (6 inch) corn tortillas
• Sour cream

Step 1

Combine thinly sliced pork, lime zest, lime juice, oregano, brown sugar, chipotles, garlic, and salt. Set aside.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tsp olive oil. Add onions and sauté for 4 minutes or until tender. Remove from pan and set aside. Add 2 tsp olive oil to pan and add pork mixture. Saute for 3-4 minutes or until no longer pink. Add pork to onions.

Warm tortillas on a hot grill and fill with pork mixture. Top with sour cream and cilantro. Serve with lime-cilantro rice.
