Christmas tacos with pork belly and red cabbage

Christmas tacos have become a common way to use up leftover pork belly between Christmas and New Year. Red cabbage with spices is made for Christmas food, with a hint of clove and allspice.

Makes 4 people, 8 tacosTime 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • About 600 g cold leftover roast pork belly (ribbe)
  • 8 small flour tortillas
  • 8 tbsp red cabbage with spices

  • 1 dl sour cream

  • 4 tbsp lingonberry jam
  • Pepper

Method

  1. Cut the pork belly into strips about 1 cm wide, with the crackling on.
  2. Fry the strips in a dry frying pan over medium-high heat for 5 to 6 minutes, until the fat has melted and the edges are crisp. Season with a little pepper.
  3. Stir the sour cream and mustard together.
  4. Cut the apple into thin sticks.
  5. Warm the tortillas briefly in a dry pan.
  6. Fill each tortilla with pork, a spoonful of red cabbage, apple sticks, a dollop of mustard sour cream and a little lingonberry jam.
