Ingredients
- 12 pieces flour tortilla
- 3 cups pork carnitas
- 1 head green leaf lettuce
- 4 medium tomato
- 1 big onion
- 1 big cucumber
Instructions
- Wash the green leaf lettuce and cut the base. Pat dry each leaf.
- Cut tomatoes into cubes or thin slices. Chop the onions and cut the cucumber into cubes.
- Prepare the Pork Carnitas by frying it in hot oil. Only fry one side to get some parts crispy and the other tender and juicy.
- If not using freshly made tortillas, warm the tortillas by wrapping them in slightly damp paper towels and heating them in the microwave for 30 seconds to a minute. Alternatively, warm each tortilla in a skillet over high heat for a few seconds each side.
- Assemble the tacos starting with the tortilla followed by the lettuce, pulled pork, tomatoes, onions, and cucumber.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- If you want it extra spicy, sprinkle the tacos with some hot chili sauce.
