Cooking at Home: Spam Tacos

12 oz can Spam Classic, sliced into strips

1 small onion, diced

½ cup chopped cilantro or 1 stalk of romaine lettuce, finely chopped

1 red tomato

1 medium red onion

1 serrano pepper (optional)

1 lime, sliced for garnish and for squeezing juice onto tacos for additional flavors

1 package taco-size corn tortillas, warmed

Salsa for serving (optional but recommended)

Step 1
Wash, dry and prepare by dicing of tomato, red onion, and romaine lettuce. Optional – finely dice one serrano pepper. Set aside.

Step 2
In large skillet, over medium-high heat, cook Spam 3 to 5 minutes or until lightly browned. (I like mine closer to golden-brown and crispy.)

Step 3
In a large flat skillet such as a crepe skillet or flat griddle (in Mexican cuisine, we call it “el comal”), over medium-high heat, warm tortillas until they are slightly toasted

Step 4
Place Spam in tortillas with onion, tomato, cilantro (or romaine lettuce). Serve with salsa and squeeze a little lime juice to amplify the flavors. Enjoy!
