Pork Belly Tacos

Pork Belly Tacos

This is not so much a recipe as a list of ingredients, but I’ll do what I can.

Ingredients

  • Pickled red onion
  • 1 large red onion, peeled and very thinly sliced

  • 3/4 cup apple cider vinegar

  • 1/4 cup water

  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt

  • 1–2 tablespoons granulated sugar

  • Spicy Tangy Mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup mayo

  • 1 tablespoon sriracha

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce

  • Assembly
  • Roast pork belly

  • Flour tortillas

  • Cilantro

  • Sliced red cabbage

  • Cotija or other crumbly white cheese

Directions

  • Pickled Red Onion
  • Heat the vinegar mixture. In a small saucepan, stir together the vinegar, water, salt and your desired amount of sweetener. Cook over medium-high heat until the mixture reaches a simmer. (Or alternately, you can heat the mixture in the microwave.)
  • Combine in a jar. Place the thinly-sliced onions in a mason jar. Pour the hot vinegar mixture over the onions, screw on the lid, and shake the onions briefly until they are evenly coated with the vinegar mixture.
  • Marinate. Let the onions marinate for 30 minutes. (You may need to press the onions down with a spoon so that they are all submerged under the vinegar mixture.)
  • Serve. Serve immediately, or refrigerate the onions in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks.
  • Spicy Tangy Mayo
  • Combine all ingredients and refrigerate until ready to use.
