Ingredients
2 servings
Pork Carnitas
Pulled Pork shoulder (precooked, unsweetened)250 g
Bacon fat1 tbsp
Chipotle Beef
80/20 Ground Beef250 g
Chipotle powder1 tsp
Cumin0.5 tsp

Lime Crema

Method
Pork Carnitas
1
Heat bacon fat in a heavy skillet over high heat. Shred the precooked pulled pork and spread it in the skillet. Press down with a spatula to get maximum contact. Sear for 4 to 5 minutes without moving until the bottom develops a deeply browned, crispy crust. Flip and crisp the other side briefly, then transfer to a warm bowl.
Chipotle Beef
2
In the same hot skillet, add the ground beef. Break it apart with a spatula. Season with chipotle powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Cook for about 6 to 8 minutes until fully browned, rendering out the fat to coat the meat. Keep warm.
Lime Crema
3
In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, lime juice, and chopped cilantro until smooth and runny enough to drizzle.
Plate
4
Divide the crispy pork carnitas and smoky chipotle beef side-by-side into two paper food-truck bowls. Top both with shredded cheddar cheese, allowing the residual heat to melt it. Scatter pickled jalapenos on top, then drizzle generously with the lime crema.
