Steps

  1. Make the avocado sauce: blend or mash the avocado with the Greek yogurt, half of the lime juice, half of the cilantro, one-third of the garlic, a pinch (about one-third) of the salt and the water until smooth. Chill until serving.
  2. Toss the cabbage with the remaining half of the lime juice and set aside.
  3. In a bowl, toss the pork with the smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, chili powder, the remaining two-thirds of the garlic and the remaining salt.
  4. Heat half of the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the bell pepper and onion for 6 to 7 minutes until charred and tender; move them to a plate.
  5. Add the remaining half of the canola oil to the skillet and sear the pork in a single layer for 5 to 7 minutes, turning, until browned and it reaches 145°F (63°C). Let it rest 3 minutes, then return the pepper and onion to the skillet and toss.
  6. Wipe out a second skillet or use a dry pan over medium heat to warm the tortillas about 30 seconds per side; keep them wrapped in a towel.
  7. Fill each tortilla with the pork and vegetables, top with the lime cabbage and avocado sauce, and finish with the remaining cilantro.
