Taco night just got an upgrade with this tomatillo-avocado salsa with cilantro and Mexican inspired pork adobo! We couldn't decide what we liked more... so we've added both to this dish, wrapped in a crisp flour tortilla!

Don't have a garlic press? Lay the garlic cloves on a chopping board, then place a chef’s knife on top and press down firmly to crush. Finely chop the garlic.
Wash and dry all produce.* Peel, then mince or grate garlic. Zest, then juice half the lime. Cut remaining lime into wedges. Pat pork dry with paper towel, then cut into 1/2-inch rounds. In a large bowl, add pork, lime zest, Mexican seasoning, half the garlic and half the lime juice. Season with pepper. Toss to coat and set aside.
Peel, then cut shallot(s) into 1/4-inch slices. Roughly chop cilantro. Finely chop tomatillo. Peel, pit, then cut avocado into bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, add avocado, tomatillo, half the cilantro, remaining lime juice, 1/4 tsp garlic (dbl for 4 ppl) and 1/2 tsp sugar (dbl for 4 ppl). Season with salt and pepper. Stir together. Set aside.
Heat a small pot over medium heat. When pot is hot, add shallots, 1 tbsp vinegar (dbl for 4 ppl), 1/4 cup water (dbl for 4 ppl), 1 tsp sugar (dbl for 4 ppl) and 1/2 tsp salt (dbl for 4 ppl).
