Equipment

Large skillet or wok
Measuring spoons and cups
Knife and cutting board
Citrus squeezer

Ingredients

1 lb pork shoulder, thinly sliced
4 low carb tortillas commercially available or homemade
2 tbsp avocado oil
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1 medium bell pepper, thinly sliced
½ medium red onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp ginger, grated
2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari gluten-free
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp erythritol or other keto-friendly sweetener
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes optional
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro, chopped for garnish
1 lime, cut into wedges for serving

Instructions

Preheat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add avocado oil.
Season the sliced pork shoulder with salt and pepper, then sear in the skillet until browned and cooked through, approximately 6-8 minutes. Remove pork from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat and sauté bell pepper and red onion until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Return the cooked pork to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and sprinkle with erythritol, stirring to combine.
Sprinkle in the red pepper flakes if using and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Warm the low carb tortillas in a dry pan over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.
Assemble the tacos by dividing the pork mixture among the warmed tortillas.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

Ensure the pork is thinly sliced to allow for quick cooking and tender bites.

If you are making your own low carb tortillas, prepare them in advance to save time.

Adjust the level of heat by increasing or decreasing the red pepper flakes according to your preference.

For a soy-free option, you can substitute coconut aminos for the soy sauce.

Always check the labels on store-bought low carb tortillas for any hidden carbs or non-keto ingredients.
