Pork Belly Tacos (Picado de Rábano con Chicharrón)
Soft corn tortillas filled with crispy-edged, tender pork belly, crunchy radish and onion mixture, earthy cilantro and zesty lime juice to top. These Pork Belly Tacos come together in 30 minutes or less! Authentic Guatemalan Pork Belly Tacos are succulent, fresh, and melt-in-your-mouth from the tender pork belly.
Ingredients
- 12 Corn Tortillas, warmed
- 1/2 Kg Pork Belly, already cooked
- 1 Tablespoon Salt
- 5-8 Radishes, minced
- 1 Small Onion, minced
- 2 Tomatoes, diced
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Mint, minced*
- Handful Cilantro, chopped
- 1 Cup Corn Chips, optional*
- 3 Limes, cut into wedges
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
- Cut up the pork belly into bite size pieces. Depending on how big the pork belly pieces are, you may need to cut them up into 1 1/2u0022 cubes. Add 1 tablespoon salt overtop of the cooked pork belly pieces (adjust salt to your liking and if your pork belly came already salted then just skip adding more salt).
- Line a baking sheet with tin foil or parchment paper. Place the already cooked pork belly pieces on the baking sheet and place in the oven to warm for about 15 minutes.
- While the pork belly is warming in the oven, make the radish mixture. Start by dicing tomatoes and placing them in a bowl.
- Using a food processor or by hand, mince the radishes and the white onion. Add the radish and white onion to the tomatoes. Juice 1 lime overtop, add the minced mint and a pinch of salt to the veggies. Stir the radish mixture well and set aside.
- Once the pork belly pieces are warmed through, it is time to assemble the tacos. Lay down a warmed corn tortilla, place 1-2 pieces of the pork belly on top and add 1-2 tablespoons of the radish mixture.
- Top each taco with more lime juice and corn chips inside the taco (optional). Enjoy with chopped cilantro! :)

Notes
u003cliu003e*Corn chips or corn tortillas are optional but I like to add a few pieces inside of my taco for extra crunch!u003c/liu003eu003cliu003e*Traditionally, fresh mint is added to the radish mixture. If you like mint and want to add it, add 2 tablespoons of minced mint. You can completely omit the mint if you are not a fan.u003c/liu003e
