Steps:
- Marinate and cook the pork:
- Combine all of the marinade ingredients in a medium bowl, reserving 1 Tbsp. olive oil.
- Put the pork loin in a large ziplock bag with the marinade, seal and massage the marinade into the pork. Put the bag in the fridge and marinate for at least 5 hours or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Heat reserved 1 Tbsp. oil in a large ovenproof frying pan over medium heat. Remove the pork from the bag and allow the excess marinade to drip away. Cook the pork, turning frequently, for 5 minutes, or until golden brown on all sides.
- Put the pan in the oven and cook for 7 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted into the meat reads 143-149°F. Remove from the oven and rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Make the slaw:
- Put the apple, cabbage, garlic, chile, spring onion, and cilantro in a medium bowl. Pour over the vinegar, season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine.
- To assemble:
- Assembling a taco is a very personal thing so I'm not going to tell you how to make yours, but here's how I do mine:
- I preheat the oven to 350°F. I wrap my tortillas in foil with the dry herbs and stick them in the oven.
- I get my warm tortilla, put down a layer of avocado slices, then a layer of pork, and then spoon on the epic slaw. I wrap it up and there's no holding back. So get in there like a shot of tequila and make a mess!
PORK MOJO TACOS
Steps:
- For the pork, whisk together orange juice, oil, lime juice, garlic, oregano, salt, black pepper, and pepper flakes. Place tenderloins in a flat baking dish; pour marinade over meat. Cover dish; chill tenderloins until ready to grill, up to 2 hours. Preheat grill, heating one side to medium-high and the other side to medium-low. Grill tenderloins, covered, over medium-high heat until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers registers 150°, 12-15 minutes. Remove tenderloins from grill and tent with foil. Let tenderloins rest while preparing tortillas. For the tacos, top tortillas with 2 Tbsp. each of refried beans and cheese. Place tortillas over medium-low heat and cook just until cheese melts, 1-2 minutes. Cut tenderloins into thick slices. Top each tortilla with sliced pork; serve with Grilled Salsa Roja.
