Prepare the Guacamole:
While the pork is marinating, work on your guacamole. First, halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Using a fork, mash the avocado into a creamy consistency.Chop the white onion and garlic finely. Add them to the mashed avocado, along with the finely chopped green chili. Dice the Roma tomatoes and add them to the mix as well. Stir everything together, then add the Greek yogurt and lime juice. Drizzle in the remaining 3g of olive oil for a smoother texture, and season with salt to taste. Stir well to combine, then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the guacamole for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Prepare the Vegetables:
While the guacamole chills, prepare your vegetables. Peel and cut the carrots into thin matchsticks, then do the same with the zucchini. Slice the spring onion into fine rounds. -
Cook the Pork and Vegetables:
In a large pan, heat half of the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced spring onion and carrots to the pan, and sauté for a few minutes until the carrots begin to soften. Then, add the zucchini and continue sautéing for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are just tender. Remove from the pan and set aside.In the same pan, add the marinated pork strips. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and lightly caramelized. Once the pork is done, return the sautéed vegetables to the pan and mix well.

Warm the Tortillas:
Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Warm the tortillas for about 1 minute on each side until they are soft and lightly browned. You can wrap them in foil to keep them warm or stack them on a plate covered with a clean cloth. -
Assemble the Tortillas:
To assemble the spicy pork tortillas, lay a warm tortilla flat on a plate. Spoon a generous portion of the pork and vegetable mixture into the center of the tortilla. Then, add a heaping spoonful of the guacamole on top of the meat. -
Wrap and Serve:
Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, and then roll it up into a tight wrap. If desired, serve the tortillas wrapped in parchment paper or colorful napkins for an extra festive touch.
Serving Suggestions:
These Spicy Pork Tortillas with Yogurt Guacamole are delicious on their own, but they can also be paired with a side of crispy fries or a fresh salad. For a more filling meal, serve them alongside some rice or beans. The creamy guacamole pairs perfectly with the spice of the pork, making every bite a satisfying combination of flavor and texture.
Tips:
- For a spicier version, feel free to increase the amount of green chili or add some red pepper flakes to the pork marinade.
- You can prepare the guacamole ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to a few hours before serving.
- Try adding some shredded cheese or a dollop of sour cream to the tortilla for an extra indulgence.
