Ingredients

1 pound ground pork
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 yellow onion (small, diced)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
0.5 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
0.25 teaspoon smoked paprika
0.25 cup water
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
12 corn tortillas
10 ounce coleslaw mix
0.25 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced yellow onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the ground pork to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Add 1/4 cup of water and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Reduce heat to low and let it simmer while you prepare the coleslaw.
In a medium bowl, combine the coleslaw mix with 1/4 cup of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Stir well to combine.
Warm the corn tortillas according to package directions (microwave or pan-fry quickly).
Serve the seasoned ground pork in warm corn tortillas, topped with the coleslaw and optional fresh cilantro.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat the pork gently and assemble tacos just before serving.
