As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Pull out a large frying pan, a medium saucepan, a small bowl, a large bowl, a measuring jug & a grater

Pickle the slaw

  • Thinly slice the cabbage. Coarsely the carrot. Thinly slice the onion. Finely slice the chives
  • In the large bowl, combine the cabbage, carrot, maple mustard dressing, juice from the lime and half of the onion. Mix well and season with salt and pepper and leave to pickle

Get simmering

  • Heat the medium saucepan with 1/2 tsp oil on medium heat. Once hot, add the remaining sliced onion and cook for 3-4 mins. Season with salt and pepper
  • Add the ancho spice blend, tomato ketchup and cook for a further minute. Add the pork and 200ml (100ml for 1 person) to the pan, along with all the juices from the bag. Gently pull apart any larger pieces and simmer for 10 mins. Season with salt and pepper

Make the chive crema

  • In the small bowl, mix together the cheese, mustard & half of the chives. Season with salt and pepper and add a splash of water to loosen to spreading consistency

Cook the tacos

  • 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)

Assemble the tacos

  • Share the tacos between plates. Spread the chive crema onto each taco. Top with the slaw and the pulled pork mix
  • Sprinkle over the remaining chives
