4 lb. boneless pork shoulder, trimmed, cut into 3 pieces
2 tbsp. ground cumin
1 large white onion, chopped
3 poblano chiles, seeded and chopped
2 serrano chiles, sliced
4 cloves garlic, crushed with press
1/2 c. chicken broth or water
1/4 c. lime juice
24 small tortillas, warmed
Cilantro, sliced green onions, sliced radishes, salsa and lime wedges, for serving
Directions:
In 12-in skillet, heat oil on medium-high until hot. Season pork all over with cumin and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook 5 minutes or until browned on two sides, turning over once halfway through. Transfer pork to slow-cooker bowl.
To skillet, add onion, chiles and garlic; cook 2 minutes, stirring often. Transfer to slow cooker bowl along with broth and lime juice. Cover and cook on Low for 7 hours or until very tender.
Transfer pork to cutting board; with two forks, pull into bite-size shreds, discarding any fat. Serve with tortillas and fixings.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the avocado oil and chicken breast strips. Add the chili lime seasoning blend, sea salt, pepper, fresh lime juice from 1 lime, and chopped fresh cilantro. Stir into the chicken. Let the chicken cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
Warm the corn shells in a small skillet with 1/2 tsp avocado oil per corn shell. Cook on medium-high heat for about 1 minute on each side. Remove from the skillet.
In each corn shell add a few chicken strips, a small handful of romaine lettuce, a squeeze of fresh lime, a few pieces of fresh cilantro, a dollop of coconut cream, and (if using) a few drops of Frank's Red Hot Sauce. Serve.
1lb shrimp, uncooked, peeled, deveined, tails removed (see note on shrimp prep)
1 tsp dark chili powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp ground cumin
½ tsp dried oregano
1 tsp garlic, minced (or ½ tsp garlic powder)
½ tsp red pepper flakes
½ tsp kosher salt
Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tsp)
3 tbsp avocado oil
Avocado Crema:
1 medium avocado, seed removed and flesh scooped out
½ cup cilantro
1 jalapeño, seeds removed
3 cloves garlic, peeled
2 limes, juiced (3 tbsp)
½ cup plain greek yogurt
3 tbsp avocado oil
3 tbsp water
½ tsp kosher salt
Taco Elements/Garnish:
1 cup shredded green cabbage
1 cup shredded purple cabbage
8-10 small flour or corn tortillas, lightly toasted
Fresh Cilantro
Lime Wedges
Directions:
In a small bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients: 3 tbsp avocado oil, lime juice, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, garlic, red pepper flakes, and kosher salt. Add in prepped shrimp, stir to coat all the shrimp with marinade. Place in refrigerator and marinate for max 30 minutes.
While the shrimp is marinating, in a food processor add the avocado crema ingredients: avocado, cilantro, jalapeño, garlic, lime juice, yogurt, olive oil, water and kosher salt. Pulse until all the ingredients are smooth. If the consistency is too thick, add another tbsp of water. Set aside.
Using a mandoline or knife, shred the cabbages. Place in a small bowl, add a few spoons of the avocado crema and toss to combine. Save the rest of the crema to drizzle over the tacos at the end.
You can either cook the shrimp in a cast iron skillet or grill them. Over medium/high heat place the shrimp into the skillet. Ensure they are all laid flat into the pan and not on top of each other, this will allow for even cooking. Depending on the size of the shrimp, they will cook in about 4-6 minutes. Flip halfway through to get a nice char/color on each side. If grilling, skewer them so they do not fall through the grates (see note on cooking shrimp).
Assemble the tacos: Place the tortilla down, add a few spoons of the cabbage slaw, add a few shrimp, drizzle avocado crema over the top (see note on crema drizzle), garnish with fresh cilantro, serve with lime wedges!

My Name is… Johnny Cash is a first-person story of the life arc of Johnny Cash – told through actual quotes from Cash and songs that coincide with the story. The crowd went wild for Steve Lasiter as Johnny Cash in Million Dollar Quartet – so we’ve brought him back, along with his real-life lady love Jennifer Barnaba, to enact the story of Johnny and his wife June Carter Cash. The set list includes lots of favorites like I Walk The Line, Ring of Fire, A Boy Named Sue, Folsom Prison Blues, and Ghost Riders in The Sky. In this clip, they sing Bob Dylan’s North Country Fair. This world premiere musical will be playing virtually On Demand from March 13-April 11th, 2021, with a very special “Opening Night” on March 12th featuring a live discussion with the stars after the show via zoom.
