Cooking Instructions
- Bring a large saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Add the rice and boil for 25-30 mins, until cooked then drain.
- Meanwhile, make the salad; trim the lettuce and carefully separate the leaves. Finely slice the onions. Roughly dice the tomatoes. Halve the limes. Roughly chop the jalapeños and coriander. Add half the onion to a small bowl and mix with the tomatoes, jalapeños, lettuce and coriander. Squeeze in the juice from the lime and season with a pinch of sea salt.
- Thinly slice the peppers. Heat a large saucepan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Add the sliced peppers and remaining onion and cook for 3-4 mins until softened. Add the Mexican spice mix and cook for 1 minute. Drain and rinse the beans, then add them to the pan along with the pulled pork and all its juices. Break up the pork using a wooden spoon and cook for 3-4 mins until piping hot.
- Stir the cooked rice into the pork and season to taste with sea salt before serving in bowls. Top with the salad and remaining lime, cut into wedges.
