Ingredients
Method- 8 Woolworths mini wraps
- olive oil, for frying
- 500 g pork fillet
- 25 g Woolworths enchilada spice
- plain yoghurt, for serving
- 1 x 250 g tub Woolworths prepared watermelon
- 1 cucumber, sliced julienne, for serving
- salted peanuts, roasted and crushed, for serving
- spring onion, sliced, to garnish
- chilli, sliced, to garnish For the coriander salsa verde, blend:
- 70 g coriander
- 5–6 spring onions (white part only)
- 2 green chillies, chopped
- 10 g mint
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 lime, zested and juiced
- 1 T white wine vinegar
- salt, to taste
Method
Ingredients- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Fry the wraps in a little olive oil until toasted.
- Cut the pork fillet into 2 or 3 equal pieces. Roll each piece in the enchilada spice to coat.
- Heat 2 T olive oil in a pan and pan-fry the pork for 30 seconds on each side so the spice doesn’t burn but the meat is sealed. Place on a baking tray, pour over any excess pan juices and roast for 5–10 minutes, or until cooked to your liking. Allow to rest before slicing.
- Serve hot on the tacos, topped with the yoghurt, watermelon, cucumber, crushed peanuts and coriander salsa verde. Garnish with spring onion and sliced chilli.
