First of all, you can't go wrong with a crispy pork belly anything, but

you won't believe how great a crispy pork belly plantain tortilla taco is.

Making the tortilla is easy peasy, and the making pork is even easier peasier
 

Just thinly slice some pork belly and fry up in a hot skillet until crispy

then slice up into smaller pieces

and load up the tortilla.
I topped mine with pickled onion, carrot, hot sauce and thinly sliced cabbage. 

And that's that.

Trust me, this works.

Ready for a filling
