Vietnamese-Style Pork Tacos
with Cucumber, Carrot & Lime Mayo
Banh mi, also known as a Vietnamese pork roll, is a taste sensation from Saigon to Sydney to San Francisco! With a perfect balance of sweet, savoury, sour and spicy flavours, it’s no wonder it’s so popular. We’ve taken those famous flavours and wrapped them up in soft tortillas for a meal that’s half Mexican, half Vietnamese and fully delicious!

Cooking Steps
Thinly slice the spring onion. Shred the cos lettuce (see ingredients). Thinly slice the cucumber into batons. Grate the carrot (unpeeled).
In a large bowl, combine the pork mince, spring onion, hoisin sauce, egg, fine breadcrumbs and soy sauce. Using damp hands, shape 1 heaped spoonful of the mixture into a meatball. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining mixture. You should get about 5-6 meatballs per person.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the pork meatballs and cook, turning often, until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes. Slice the meatballs in half to serve.
While the meatballs are cooking, juice the lime to get 1 tsp for 2 people / 2 tsp for 4 people. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and lime juice. Season to taste. Mix well and set aside.
Heat the mini flour tortillas in a sandwich press, or microwave for 10 second bursts, until warmed through.
Thinly slice the long red chilli (if using). Bring everything to the table to serve. Spread a thin layer of lime mayo over the tortillas. Add some cos lettuce, cucumber and carrot. Top with the halved pork meatballs and garnish with chilli.
