Instructions

In a large bowl, mix the ancho or Mexican hot chili powder, salt, oregano, cumin, pepper, cinnamon and allspice. Add the pork cubes, chopped onion, cider vinegar and 1/4 c. cilantro and mix well. Marinate about an hour if you prefer.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the pork and stir-fry over moderately high heat until browned outside and just cooked through.

Transfer the pork to a colander lined with paper towel to absorb the grease. Sprinkle with remaining tablespoon of chopped cilantro. Transfer pork to a serving bowl.

On a warm tortilla, spread a little sour cream, a little mashed avocado and top with lettuce, spoon full of salsa, pork, cheese and squeeze juice from lime wedge. Roll up and enjoy.
