- 1 lb ground pork
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 cup green beans (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tsp olive oil
- pinch tsp salt
- 1.5 cups frozen corn (thawed)
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 0.25 cup red onion (finely diced)
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- pinch tsp salt
- 12 count corn tortillas or small flour tortillas

How to make Quick Pork & Green Bean Tacos with Zesty Corn Salad
- Prepare the corn salad first: In a medium bowl, combine the 1.5 cups thawed corn, 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes, 1/4 cup finely diced red onion, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir well and set aside to allow flavors to meld.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 1 pound ground pork and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain off any excess fat.
- Stir in the 2 tablespoons taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water into the cooked pork. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has mostly absorbed and the pork is well coated.
- While the pork simmers, heat a small non-stick pan or the same skillet (after removing pork) over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil and the 1 cup green beans. Sauté for 4-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until bright green and tender-crisp. Season with a pinch of salt.
- Warm the 12 tortillas according to package directions (microwave, dry skillet, or oven) just before serving to make them pliable.
- To assemble the tacos, place a spoonful of the seasoned ground pork onto each warm tortilla.
- Top with a small amount of the sautéed green beans.
- Spoon a generous amount of the zesty corn salad over the pork and green beans.
- Serve immediately with optional toppings like sour cream, hot sauce, or extra cilantro.
