Ingredients

  • 1⁄2 bunch fresh cilantro
  • 1 lime
  • 1⁄2 cup 2% plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tsp oil
  • 1⁄2 lb (225 g) ground pork
  • 1 pkg Enchilada Seasoning, divided
  • 1 can (14 oz/398 ml) low sodium chickpeas
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 8 small tortilla shells (corn or flour), warmed

Preparation

  1. Chop cilantro (including stems); add to a bowl. Using 2-in-1 Citrus Press, squeeze in juice from lime. Stir in yogurt. Set aside.
  2. In a large non-stick fry pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add pork; stir-fry until cooked, about 3 min, breaking up large chunks as needed.
  3. While pork is cooking, drain and rinse chickpeas. Pat dry using a paper or kitchen towel. Add to pan; sprinkle with 1 tbsp seasoning. Reduce heat to medium. Stir occasionally and lightly mash chickpeas as they heat through, about 3 min.
  4. Meanwhile, in 4-Cup Prep Bowl, whisk together remaining seasoning, water, and tomato paste. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 2 min, or until thickened. Remove from microwave; whisk.
  5. Spread yogurt sauce over tortilla shells. Top with pork and chickpea mixture and additional toppings, if desired. Spoon enchilada sauce over top.
