Ingredients

384g Mixed Peppers, thinly sliced
250g Cherry Tomatoes, diced
30g fresh Coriander, roughly chopped
15ml of Lime Juice & wedges to serve

Method
1
Start by adding the pork mince and vegetable oil into a pan over a high heat. Leave to brown for 5 minutes, then break up and continue to fry. Reduce the heat slightly and add the thinly sliced onion & peppers. Continue to fry for 5 more minutes.
2
Whilst that’s frying away, prepare your salsa/ pico de gallo by adding the cherry tomatoes, ? of the coriander, lime juice and diced red onion into a bowl. Stir to combine and season with pepper.
3
To the frying pan, add the spices and cook for a further minute. Remove from the heat.
4
Preheat grill to 200°C.
5
Place the tortillas over two baking trays and top with the pork filling. Scatter over some finely grated cheddar and place under the grill for around 1-2 minutes, or until melted.
6
Top with the pico de gallo and an extra sprinkle of coriander. Optionally grate a little more cheddar over the top. Serve with lettuce as a side and dig in!
