Recipe for tacos with braised pork
These tacos are served with a delicious braised pork, pork cracklings, and beans.
We have the recipe from the book: “Meyers – Når du flytter hjemmefra“, where the focus is on making healthy and delicious food that is affordable on a student budget:
“Tacos with real, soft Mexican corn tortillas have slowly made their way into the Danish culinary landscape. That’s why you can now also find the flour needed for them – called masa harina – both online and in specialty stores. Many supermarkets also carry good store-bought corn tortillas. If you want to make your own tortillas, it’s a good idea to get a tortilla press, but you can also manage with a pot as a press.”

- Season with salt, pepper, and lime juice.
Topping and Serving

- Lay out the tortillas on a platter or cutting board, and place a spoonful of pork and beans in the center.
- Top with crème fraîche, sliced cabbage, pickled jalapenos, coarsely chopped crackling, and cilantro.
- Sprinkle with a little salt, drizzle with some sesame oil, and squeeze some lime juice over.
