Homemade, crispy taco shells filled with spicy ground pork, cheese and lettuce make a wonderful meal that's a special treat for dinner.
Heat a large, nonstick skillet on medium heat, and add the ground pork, onion, jalapeƱo, garlic powder, pepper, chili powder, cumin and salt. Stir.
Continue to stir as the pork cooks. Stir in the water.
Let cook until the pork is thoroughly cooked and the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat, and set aside for a moment.
Heat a small skillet on medium heat, and add the canola oil.
Let the canola oil warm for a moment. Using tongs, carefully put a tortilla into the oil, holding half the tortilla up so it's not in the oil to form a taco shell. Let the bottom side of the tortilla cook until it's a light golden color, and then turn it over to the other side.
When both sides of the taco shell are a light golden color, remove it from the pan, and put it onto a plate lined with a paper towel. Repeat cooking the tortillas to make the remaining taco shells.
Fill the taco shells with the pork mixture, and top with cheese, lettuce, purple cabbage and salsa.
Serve while warm.
