Quick and indulgent! These Sriracha Honey Glazed Pork Belly Tacos are a flavor explosion perfect for your next comfort food craving.
Ingredients
- • Pork belly: 1 pound, cut into 1-inch cubes
- • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Sriracha sauce: 2 tablespoons
- • Honey: 3 tablespoons
- • Soy sauce: 1 tablespoon
- • Lime juice: 1 tablespoon
- • Fresh cilantro: 1/4 cup, chopped
- • Corn tortillas: 8
- • Red onion: 1/4 cup, finely sliced
- • Avocado: 1, sliced
- • Sour cream: 1/4 cup (optional)
Instructions
- 1 Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and allow it to heat up until shimmering.
- 2 Season the pork belly cubes with salt and black pepper. Add them to the skillet in a single layer. Sear the pork belly for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- 3 While the pork belly is cooking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, mix together sriracha sauce, honey, soy sauce, and lime juice until well combined.
- 4 Once the pork belly is crispy, reduce the heat to medium and pour the glaze over the pork. Stir to coat all the pieces evenly. Continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes until the glaze thickens and clings to the pork.
- 5 Warm the corn tortillas in a separate dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
- 6 To assemble the tacos, place a few pieces of glazed pork belly in each tortilla. Top with sliced red onion, avocado, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro. Add a dollop of sour cream if desired.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Sriracha Honey Glazed Pork Belly Tacos are best enjoyed with a side of tangy coleslaw or a simple cucumber salad to balance the richness. For a refreshing beverage pairing, try a chilled Mexican lager or a citrusy margarita to complement the spicy-sweet flavors. Garnish with extra lime wedges for an added zing. For a heartier meal, serve the tacos alongside a bowl of spicy black beans or a cheesy corn dip. These sides not only enhance the meal's indulgence but also provide a satisfying contrast of textures and flavors.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover pork belly in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the pork in a skillet over medium heat and stir until warmed through. Avoid microwaving as it can compromise the crispy texture. Corn tortillas are best stored separately and can be reheated quickly in a skillet before serving.
