Cut pork chops into small, bite sized pieces. In a bowl, mix together cornstarch, oil, cumin and 1 teasp. black pepper until a smooth paste. Add pork and marinate for 30 minutes.
While pork marinates, wash cilantro and pluck whole leaves from stems..about 3/4 cup. Place leaves in a bowl, thinly slice red onion and add to cilantro, creating a salad. Add a dash of black pepper, white vinegar and 1 T of olive oil; toss to coat and set aside.
Cook marinated pork in batches. Add a teaspoon of olive oil to a nonstick saute' pan and place over medium-high heat. When oil comes to temperature, cook half the pork pieces (without removing marinade). Cook until the outside of the pork pieces is brown and a crust has formed and the inside is cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. If needed. add more oil to the pan, and cook the second half of the marinated pork. Once finished, sprinkle cooked pork with salt to taste.
To assemble tacos, warm tortillas according to directions on the package. Take one tortilla and smar a teaspoon of sour cream down the middle. Top with 7 to 8 chunks of pork. Atop pork, place a spoonful of salsa, then top with cilantro/redonion salad, a teaspoon of corn kernels and pinch of cheese.
