Step 1
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Add sliced onion and cook, stirring often, until deep golden and caramelized, about 8 minutes.
Step 2
Stir pork into the onion. Season with salt and pepper. Cook 2 minutes until warmed through and well mixed.
Step 3
Lay a tortilla flat. Spread 1 tbsp crema down the center, then top with pork-onion mixture and a small handful of cheese.
Step 4
Fold tortilla in half to form a half-moon. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
Step 5
Wipe skillet clean. Heat 2 tbsp oil over medium-high until shimmering. Working in batches, pan-fry gringas 2 minutes per side until golden and cheese melts.
Step 6
Transfer to a plate. Squeeze lime over top. Serve hot with extra crema and pickled jalapeños on the side.
