Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Pull out a large frying pan, a medium saucepan, 2 small bowls, a measuring jug, a sieve & a grater

Time to prep

  • Finely dice the onion. Roughly dice the tomatoes. Halve the orange, then dice half into 1cm chunks. Roughly chop the coriander. Zest and quarter the lime. Finely chop or crush the garlic. Thinly slice the radishes. Drain and rinse the beans

Make the salsa

  • Add half the onion, the tomatoes, the diced orange and half the coriander to a small bowl with the vinegar, lime zest and the juice from 1 lime wedge. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well and set aside to pickle
  • Add the radish to the other small bowl and squeeze in the juice from 1 lime wedge

Simmer the pork

  • Heat the medium saucepan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the remaining onion and cook for 3-4 mins. Stir in the garlic and chipotle paste and cook for a further 2 mins, then add the pork (along with all the juices from the bag), beans, the juice from the remaining orange, the hot honey and 100ml water (50ml for 1 person)
  • Bring to a boil and simmer for 6-8 mins, shredding the pork with two forks, until the sauce is thickened. Season to taste with salt and pepper

Heat the tortillas

  • Meanwhile, heat the large frying pan on high heat. Once hot, add 3-4 tortillas to the pan and cook for 1 min on each side, until golden. Remove and repeat with the remaining tortillas (3-4 per person)

Plate up

  • Share the tacos between plates, loaded with the pulled pork and topped with the salsa. Garnish with the radish, remaining coriander and the remaining lime wedges for squeezing over
