Wash and dry all produce. Finely dice @tomato{1%piece}. Trim and thinly slice @scallions{2%pieces}, separating whites from greens. Core, deseed, and dice @long green pepper{1%piece}.

In a #small bowl{}, combine @sour cream{2%tbsp}, 1 tsp @southwest spice blend{1%tbsp}, @salt{½%tsp}, and @black pepper{¼%tsp}. Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. In a separate #small bowl{}, combine tomato, scallion whites, and 1 TBSP @green salsa{1%cup}. Season with salt and pepper.

Heat a large drizzle of @cooking oil{1%tbsp} in a #large pan{} over medium-high heat. Add long green pepper and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until softened ~{4-6%minutes}.

Add @ground pork{12%oz} and another drizzle of cooking oil to same pan. Season with salt, pepper, and remaining southwest spice blend. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until pork is browned and cooked through ~{4-6%minutes}. If there’s excess grease in your pan, carefully pour it out.

Add remaining green salsa to pan with pork; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook until slightly thickened ~{2-3%minutes}. Stir in 1 TBSP @butter{1%tbsp} until melted. Season with salt and pepper. Turn off heat.

Wrap @flour tortillas{4%pieces} in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable ~{30%seconds}. Divide tortillas between plates and fill with pork mixture, @monterey jack cheese{½%cup}, salsa, and crema. Sprinkle with scallion greens and serve.
