Ingredients
- 160-200g pork belly slices, cut into small chunks
- 1 tbsp chipotle paste
- 2 tsp Mexican-style seasoning (we used fajita seasoning)
- 2 apples
- 100g 0% fat strained Greek yogurt
- ½ x 30g pack coriander, leaves picked, plus extra to serve
- 2 tbsp cider vinegar
- ½ avocado, peeled and stoned
- ¼ small white cabbage, shredded
- 4 small corn tortillas
Step by step
-
Put the pork belly chunks in a bowl and combine with the chipotle paste and Mexican-style seasoning. Tip into the basket of the air fryer and cook at 180°C for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, peel and cut one of the apples into cubes, then add to the air fryer for the final 5 minutes. If the pork is already looking dark when you add the apples, reduce the temperature of the air fryer slightly. The pork should be soft with charred, crispy edges.
-
Meanwhile, put the yogurt, coriander leaves, 1 tablespoon of vinegar and the avocado in a blender and season with salt and pepper. Blend until smooth, then set aside. For the slaw, put the cabbage in a medium bowl. Core and finely slice the remaining apple into matchsticks, then add to the cabbage with the remaining vinegar. Season and mix well.
-
Warm the tortillas in the air fryer for a couple of minutes, then build the tacos. Add a dollop of the avocado yogurt to each tortilla, then top with the slaw, pork belly and apples. Scatter with a few extra coriander leaves.
