Tacos de Puerco a la Plancha are a delicious Mexican street food featuring marinated pork grilled to perfection and served in warm tortillas. This Halal version is packed with flavor and perfect for a quick snack or a light meal.

Ingredients

• Pork shoulder (Halal) - 300 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic cloves, minced - 2
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Chili powder - 1 teaspoon
• Oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Corn tortillas - 4 small
• Fresh cilantro, chopped - 2 tablespoons
• Lime wedges - 1 lime
• Salsa verde (optional) - 50 grams

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Cut the pork shoulder into small cubes and add to the marinade, mixing well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated pork and grill for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and slightly charred.
4. While the pork is grilling, warm the corn tortillas in a separate pan over low heat for about 1-2 minutes on each side until pliable.
5. Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
6. Assemble the tacos by placing the grilled pork on each tortilla, topping with fresh cilantro, and serving with lime wedges and salsa verde on the side.
