One-Pan Salsa Verde Shrimp Tacos
with Monterey Jack & Southwest Crema
The week just isn’t complete without a taco night. If you agree (and how could you not?), you’re in luck! Our chefs put together a Tex-Mex-style taco that’s sure to satisfy. There’s pork and green pepper simmered in tangy salsa verde, fresh tomato salsa, Southwest-spiced crema, and Monterey Jack cheese all piled into steamy-soft tortillas. Taco ’bout a killer meal.

Instructions
• Wash and dry produce. • Finely dice tomato. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Core, deseed, and dice green pepper.
• In a small bowl, combine sour cream, 1 tsp Southwest Spice Blend (2 tsp for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. (You’ll use the rest of the Southwest Spice Blend later.) Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. • In a separate small bowl, combine tomato, scallion whites, and 1 TBSP green salsa (you’ll use the rest later). Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add green pepper and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until softened, 4-6 minutes.
• Add pork* and another drizzle of oil to same pan. Season with salt, pepper, and remaining Southwest Spice Blend. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until pork is browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. TIP: If there’s excess grease in your pan, carefully pour it out.
Rinse shrimp* under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels. Swap in shrimp (no need to break up into pieces!) or beef* for pork. Cook, stirring frequently, until cooked through, 4-6 minutes.
• Add remaining green salsa to pan with pork; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) until melted. Season with salt and pepper. Turn off heat.
• Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds. • Divide tortillas between plates and fill with pork mixture, Monterey Jack, salsa mixture, and crema. Sprinkle with scallion greens and serve.
Shrimp are fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.
