Vietnamese Pork Tacos
with Cucumber, Carrot & Lemon Mayo
Banh mi, commonly 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 list). Thinly slice the cucumber into batons. Thinly slice the long red chilli (if using). 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 tbs of the mixture into a meatball. Set aside on 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 lemon to get 2 tsp. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
Heat the mini flour tortillas in a sandwich press, or microwave for 10 second bursts, until warmed through.
Bring everything to the table to serve. Spread a thin layer of lemon mayo over the tortillas. Add some cos lettuce, cucumber, carrot and chilli (if using) and top with the halved pork meatballs.
