- Halve the lime. Thinly slice the avocado. Grate the cheese
- Add the thinly sliced onion to the small bowl with the juice from half a lime. Season with salt then set aside to pickle
Build the flavour
- After 10-12 mins, remove the foil from the pulled pork and gently pull apart any larger pieces using a fork. Toss in the tomato puree, mexican spice, honey and 2 tbsp water
- Add the peppers and onion wedges to the lined baking tray then drizzle over 2 tsp oil. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper
