For this Pork Belly Taco recipe we have slowly cooked pork belly in beer and spices until tender, then coated it in a delicious chipotle paste marinade. The pork belly then gets crisped up in a very hot pan, chopped up into carnitas-like chunks ready to be enjoyed with warm Soft Taco Wraps.
We recommend making this when you have a little bit of extra time, it’s one of those recipes that you have to enjoy the process as well as the final inevitable step when you get to eat them! Looking for more taco recipes? Look no further.

Ingredients
- 700g pork belly
- 2 tablespoon rapeseed oil
- 1 can beer
- 500ml chicken stock
- 5 cloves garlic
- 2 bay leaves
- 3 spring onions
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 1 cup coriander
- 1 tablespoon Gran Luchito Chipotle Paste
- 3 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 red chilli
- 8 Gran Luchito Soft Taco Wraps
- 1 jar Gran Luchito Tomatillo Salsa
- 1 red onion, finely diced
- 1 handful coriander, roughly chopped
- 3 lime
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Cut your pork belly into small pieces with a very sharp knife. Add them into a pan with very hot oil, with the rind facing down to start with. Make sure they are browned all the way round, then remove your pan from the heat.
Step 2
Add half of the beer into a baking dish, then the stock, peeled garlic cloves, bay leaves, spring onions, black peppercorns and coriander. Place all of your browned meat into the liquid, and cover the baking dish with tin foil, wrapping it tightly.
Step 3
Reduce the temperature of your oven to 160°C/320°F and place your pork belly in the middle of the oven. Cook for 2 hours and add the rest of the beer half way through the cooking.
Step 4
In the meantime in a medium-sized bowl add the Chipotle Paste, orange juice, lime juice, red chilli and olive oil. Mix everything with a spoon and set aside.
Step 5
Take your pork belly out of the oven, and remove it from the cooking liquid. Place it into the chipotle mixture.
Step 6
Prepare a frying pan with a drizzle of olive oil. Once your oil is very hot add the pork belly and juices into the pan. Turn them around from time to time until they get lovely and caramelised.
Step 7
Remove the pan from the heat. On a chopping board cut all of your pork into bite size pieces and then reserve.
Step 8
Warm up the Soft Taco Wraps and serve with the awesome pork belly. Garnish with finely diced red onion, fresh coriander, a good amount of Tomatillo Salsa and a squeeze of lime. Enjoy!
