- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 shallot, minced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 jalapeño, diced with ribs and seeds removed
- 2 teaspoons fish sauce
- 18 ounces boneless pork loin, sliced into thin strips
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 cup chopped pineapple
- 1 cup chopped cucumber
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/2 red onion or shallot, chopped
- a squeeze of lime juice
- a pinch of salt
- 8 tortillas
- 1/4 cup cilantro
- 1 lime, sliced into sections
- chili sauce (1/4 cup mayo and 2 teaspoons hot sauce like sriracha)
Steps
Heat the oil in a heavy pan over medium heat. Add the shallot, garlic, and jalapeño – saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Turn the heat to high and add the pork and the fish sauce – stir fry for a few minutes until the pork is no longer pink. With the heat very high, add the sugar and water and stir once – then let the pork caramelize by not stirring it for about 1 minute. Repeat this process until the pork is nice and golden brown.
Toss everything together in a medium bowl.
Warm the tortillas quickly in a skillet with a little bit of oil. Arrange the pork between 6 tortillas and top with the salsa and the chili sauce.
