  • 1 red onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • 1 Roma tomato, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 ripe kiwi, diced
  • 1 lime, quartered, divided
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, divided
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 10 ounces ground pork
  • 1 tablespoon Mexican seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons chicken stock

  • Juice 1/4 of the lime into another small bowl; mix in sour cream to make the crema.
  • Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced onion and poblano pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until softened and lightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes.

Cook and stir until everything is coated, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Wrap tortillas in a damp cloth and microwave for 30 seconds. Divide tortillas over plates; spread cream on top. Top tortillas with pork mixture and salsa. Garnish with remaining cilantro.
