Equipment

Ingredients

For the salsa:

  • 1 small red onion (approx. 60g) finely chopped
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 432 g (15.2 oz) tin pineapple chunks or slices drained and finely diced (reserve 100ml of the juice)
  • 1 red pepper deseeded and diced
  • 30 g (1.1 oz) fresh coriander stalks and leaves chopped
  • a pinch of salt and plenty freshly ground black pepper

For the smoky pork:

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 500 g (1.1 lb) lean pork mince
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp chipotle paste
  • 395 g (13.9 oz) tin taco mixed beans in tomato sauce

To serve:

  • 8 soft tortilla wraps
  • half an iceberg lettuce shredded
  • sour cream (optional)

Instructions

  • Combine the salsa ingredients in a large serving bowl with a pinch of salt and plenty of ground black pepper. Set aside.
  • For the smoky pork, heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium high heat, then add the pork mince and fry for 5 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned all over.
  • Turn the heat down to medium and add the garlic, paprika and chipotle paste; mix and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the tin of beans in sauce, and the 100ml of pineapple juice. Bring to a gentle boil and simmer for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Warm the tortilla wraps in the microwave or char them for 5 to 10 seconds on each side over a gas flame.
  • Transfer the pork and bean mixture to a serving bowl, and take it to the table with the salsa, tortillas, lettuce, sour cream (if using) and any other Mexican sides you fancy. Everyone can assemble their own!

Notes

  • Optional variations:
    • Pulled pork tortillas - make the chipotle honey pulled pork for the filling.
    • Spicy jalapeño version - add sliced jalapeños and hot sauce.
    • Cheesy pork wraps - add grated mature cheddar or Monterey jack cheese.
    • Low-carb version - replace the tortillas with crisp lettuce leaves.
    • Breakfast wrap - add scrambled eggs and sliced avocado with the smoky pork mixture.
  • This smoky pork tortillas recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
