Instructions

Step 1

In a bowl, mix together all pork mixture ingredients until well combined. Let rest while prepping the toppings.

Step 2

Make the Spicy Mayo. Refrigerate. Prep the cabbage, carrots, cilantro, and green onions for the toppings. Set aside.

Step 3

On a sheet tray, press about 1–2 tbsp (a golf ball-sized amount) of pork mixture onto one side of each flour tortilla. Wet hands and press into a thin, even layer.

Step 4

Place a lightly oiled non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place tortillas meat-side down and sear for 3–4 minutes.

Step 5

Flip and warm the tortilla side for another minute or so (you don’t want it crispy, just warmed through).

Step 6

Remove from heat and add toppings. Serve hot and enjoy!
