How to prepare Tortillas with spiced pork and yogurt guacamole
To prepare the tortillas with spiced pork and yogurt guacamole, start by marinating the meat: cut the pork slices into strips 1 then place them in a bowl and add salt 2, pepper, Worcestershire sauce 3,
paprika, cumin 4, and a drizzle of oil. Mix and let it marinate; in the meantime, prepare the yogurt guacamole: open the avocado and cut the flesh into cubes 5, place 3/4 of it in a bowl 6, while you can set aside the other portion to add whole to the sauce.
Peel the onion and slice it thinly 7 then chop it finely; also chop the green chili 8, garlic, and cut the cherry tomatoes into wedges. Mash the avocado flesh in the bowl 9 with a fork until it becomes a creamy puree.
add the chopped onion and garlic 10, green chili 11, and tomatoes 12. Mix the ingredients thoroughly,
then also add the Greek yogurt 13. Squeeze the lime juice 14, strain it, and add it to the guacamole sauce 15, also add the avocado cubes you set aside and, if necessary, drizzle a bit more olive oil. Mix and keep the sauce in the refrigerator.
Clean and thinly slice the scallion 16, trim, peel, and cut the carrots into thin strips 17, then wash and trim the zucchini, also to be cut into strips 18.
In a skillet, pour half the oil and add the scallion and carrots; stir with a wooden spoon and sauté the vegetables for 2-3 minutes, then add the zucchini 19 and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, salt and pepper to taste: the vegetables should be flavorful but remain crispy. In a separate skillet, pour the remaining oil and cook the marinated meat 20 for 10 minutes. Heat the tortillas, about 1 and a half minutes per side, in a crepe pan or a well-heated non-stick pan 21.
Fill each tortilla with the meat and vegetables placed in the center 22 and fold the edges inward 23. Wrap the tortillas with spiced pork in aluminum foil or colorful napkins 24 and serve them with the yogurt guacamole sauce!
