Cooking Instructions
heat a large pan over a high heat. Add the salt, and toss around for a few seconds, then add the minced pork, onion, chili powder, garlic and pepper. Cook stirring continually for 5 - 6 minutes. Take care to not let the meat catch the bottom of the pan. Add the tin of beans, including the liquid, the vinegar and about 2 fl oz / 55ml of water. Stir well and bring back to the boil. Allow to simmer for 10 minutes. Most of the liquid should evaporate so the mixture is not too runny. As it thickens continue to stir to prevent sticking. Watch out for spitting. Check for seasoning and then serve.Spoon into the crispy taco shells warmed in the oven. Top with garnishes of your choice. For instance:
Finely chopped spring onion
Shredded lettuce
Grated cheese
Guacamole
Salsa
Diced tomato
Freshly chopped coriander
