Steps:
- Avocado Crema: Add all of the Avocado Crema ingredients to your blender and blend until smooth, scraping sides down as needed. May make 6 hours ahead of time and refrigerate in an airtight container.
- Corn Salsa: Prepare Corn Salsa anytime before making pork and store in the refrigerator.
- Pork: While the pork is still on the cutting board, pat it dry then sprinkle it with all of the seasonings. Toss until evenly coated.
- Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Add the pork in a single layer and let brown for 1-2 minutes then continue to cook and stir just until cooked through (don't overcook, 145-155 degrees F). When almost cooked through, stir in green chiles, lime juice and vinegar. Taste and season with additional salt or cayenne pepper to taste.
- To serve: Top tortillas with pork, Corn Salsa, Avocado Crema, freshly squeezed lime juice, hot sauce to taste and optional Cotija.
KOREAN SHORT RIB TACOS
Steps:
- For the Braised Short Ribs: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Season the beef pieces with some salt and pepper. Dredge the beef lightly with the flour and shake off excess; set aside. Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a roasting pan over medium-high heat. Brown the short rib pieces on all sides, about 10 minutes. Use more butter and oil as needed to give a golden brown and delicious surface to each piece of beef.
- Melt another tablespoon of butter in the pan. Stir in the shallots, carrots, and celery. Cook and stir until the vegetables have softened, about 10 minutes. Add the red wine, scrape up the brown bits in the pan, and reduce the wine volume by half. Stir in the beef broth, bay leaves, parsley and thyme. Add beef broth up to half the height of the contents of the pot, do not submerge. Bring the pot to a boil, cover with a tight fitting lid or aluminum foil, then transfer to the preheated oven until the short rib is very tender, about 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Once the short rib is tender, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Strip the meat with a fork, cover and keep warm for the assembly stage.
- For the Korean Taco Sauce: Whisk the soy sauce, sugar, gochujang and sesame oil together until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth. You can make this a few days in advance and store tightly covered in the refrigerator.
- To Assemble the Tacos: Heat some tortillas in a dry skillet. In the same pan, add the vegetable oil, then briefly saute the Brussels sprouts, chopped onions and some salt and pepper. Add some shredded short rib and Korean Taco Sauce. Do not overcook.
- Spoon some of the taco filling into each tortilla. Serve with the Korean Taco Sauce and a lime wedge.

Steps:
- Blanch the tomatillos in 1 quart boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain and save 1/2 cup of the cooking water. Set aside, cool, and remove husks. Place tomatillos in a blender with the garlic, salt, and serrano chiles. Add 3 to 4 tablespoons cooking liquid and blend on high speed for 10 seconds. Set sauce aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Mexican sausage and fry until browned and completely cooked through. Transfer sausage to paper towels to drain and set aside.
- Simmer sauce for 5 minutes in a pan wide enough to dip tortillas. Heat the remaining oil in a large skillet over high flame. With tongs, dip 1 tortilla at a time in the hot oil for a few seconds to coat and heat and then dip the tortilla in tomatillo sauce. Place on a serving plate and fill with 1/12th of the Mexican sausage, 1 tablespoon minced onion, and 1/2 teaspoon minced cilantro. Roll the tortilla into the shape of an enchilada. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Top with sauce, sour cream, strips of green chile, and a cilantro sprig. Serve immediately.
SHORT RIB TACOS
Whenever we go to Houston to visit family, we like to track down cabeza-cow's head, cooked slowly, resulting in extremely tender meat that's excellent in tacos. Cabeza is hard to find in Seattle, so I use short ribs to replicate the texture. I like corn tortillas for these tacos and a quick pico de gallo to add some freshness to the rich, flavorful meat. -Anai Yost, Bothell, Washington
