TOPPING AND TORTILLAS

  • 50 gram Sour Cream
  • 1 handful Jalapenos pickled.
  • 1 handful Pork Rind
  • 1 handful Cilantro
  • 28 gram Sesame Oil
  • 1 pcs. Lime

Instructions

Braised Pork

  • Cut the neck chops into cubes of about 1½ x 1½ cm, and season them with salt and pepper.
  • Heat some oil in a pot, and brown the meat to give it a good color.
  • Take the pot off the heat while you peel and chop the onions and garlic.
  • Place the pot back on the heat, add the onions and garlic, and let it fry for a couple of minutes.
  • Add chili powder, cumin, tomato paste, apple juice, and water.
  • Cover the pot with a lid, and let it simmer for 1-1½ hours, until the meat is very tender.
  • In the last 10 minutes, drain the water from the can of beans and add the beans to the pot.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and lime juice.

Topping and Serving

  • Slice the cabbage as finely as you can.
  • If you use store-bought tacos, or if you have made them yourself well in advance, warm them briefly on a pan or baking sheet in the oven.
  • 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.

Notes

TIP: Pickled red onions are a great addition. A finely sliced fresh red onion is also good.
