SERVINGS
Servings: 2 tacos
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients  

  • 5 slices pork belly
  • 2 corn tortillas
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1/2 tbsp hot sauce
  • 1/2 jalapeño thinly sliced
  • 1 lime
  • 1/4 bunch cilantro

Instructions

  • Mix Kewpie mayo, habanero hot sauce and lime juice in a small bowl.
  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and crisp the pork belly slices, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Warm the tortillas over your gas burner for 5-10 seconds per side.
  • Spread sauce on each tortilla and top with crispy pork belly, cilantro, and jalapeño slices. Squeeze fresh lime over the top.

Notes

  • Get the pork belly crispy. The key to these tacos is *crispy* pork belly. So be sure your pan is hot enough, and you leave the pork belly in the pan long enough to get a nice, crispy charred outside.
  • Use whatever toppings you like. This recipe works as a good base. But feel free to add salsa and/or cotija cheese as well.
