Crispy Pork Tacos w/Chimichurri and Passionfruit

Crispy pork belly, seasoned in our smoky red chimichurri sauce topped with fresh papaya, red cabbage and passionfruit, served in a warm tortilla.

Ingredients

  • 600g pork belly
  • 250-300g red cabbage
  • 1 papaya
  • 2 passionfruits
  • 1 handful coriander
  • 12 tortillas
  • Medium El Chori chimichurri
  • oil 

 

Instructions

  1. Remove the skin from the pork belly and cut it into approx. 1cm slices and then into 1 cm pieces – don’t worry about it being exact. Season and set aside
  2. Slice red cabbage and papaya – I used a peeler that has a julienne function for the papaya. Mix the 2 together and set aside
  3. Heat oil to 180c in a saucepan or high sided frying pan and cook pork (in 2 batches) for 6-8 mins until golden brown. Remove, place in a bowl and toss in a couple heaped tbsp of chimichurri
  4. Warm your tortillas and serve
  5. I place cabbage mixture on the bottom, top with pork and a little drizzle of passionfruit and a little coriander too
  6. You can add more chimichurri or a little mayo at the end if you wish

Essential Tools

  • Chef knives
  • Chopping board
  • Saucepan/frying pan
  • Spoons
  • Mixing bowl x 2

Tips/Tricks

Cook the pork until just golden brown for a juicier piece or a little longer if you want nice and crispy pieces 

If you prefer it with a little less or more heat try the other El Chori chimichurri’s out too

I like to heat my tortillas in a grill pan to add a little texture to them 😉

Not a pork fan? You could do this with chicken thighs too
