Method

  1. Start by prepping your corn tortillas, lime, cilantro so the cooking goes quickly.
  2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the fresh ginger and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  3. Turn the heat up, add the carnitas taco, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
  4. Fold in the corn tortillas and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
  5. Pour in the cream, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
  6. Taste and adjust, then finish with toasted nuts right before serving.
  7. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
