Best Recipe for The Ultimate Taco Bar Toppings

Ingredients

  • 1 (18-count) package ORTEGA® Yellow Corn Taco Shells
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup ORTEGA® Thick and Smooth Mild Taco Sauce
  • 2 cups mixed baby greens
  • ¼ cup cilantro, torn
  • Lime wedges, for serving
  • 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1 (4-ounce) can ORTEGA® Hot Diced Green Chiles
  • 4 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 whole (1 ½-pound) pork tenderloin, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup drained ORTEGA® Sliced Jalapeños, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups diced fresh pineapple

Instructions

  1. Remove Taco Shells from plastic container. Bake shells in preheated 350 degree Fahrenheit oven 3 to 4 minutes or microwave on HIGH 40 to 60 seconds.
  2. Mix the tomatoes with the taco sauce in a medium serving bowl. Toss the greens and cilantro in another serving bowl. Put the taco shells on a serving platter with the lime wedges.
  3. Toss the chicken, chiles, and scallions in a saucepan over medium heat until heated through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl.
  4. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork with salt and pepper. Add to the hot oil and sear, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the pickled jalapeños and pineapple. Cook, stirring, until the pork is just cooked through, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish.
  5. Set up a DIY taco bar: line up the taco shells, chicken mixture, pork mixture, tomato salsa, and greens. Instruct guests to assemble their own tacos.
