Mexican-Style Feast W. Pork Birria Wholemeal Tacos & Sweet Potatoes

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7

Boil a kettle

Peel and grate your garlic

Chop your potato[es] (skins on) into bite-sized pieces

Combine half the grated garlic (you'll use the rest later!) in a bowl with 2 tbsp [3 tbsp] [4 tbsp] olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper

Add the chopped potatoes to the bowl with the garlic and give them a good mix up

Transfer the garlic coated potatoes to one side of a baking paper-lined baking tray (or two!)

Add your sweetcorn cobettes to a large piece of tin foil (or two!) with a knob of butter, half your ground smoked paprika (save the rest for later!) and a pinch of salt and pepper

Scrunch the foil around the corn until tightly sealed and add to the baking tray[s]

Put the tray[s] in the oven for 30-35 min or until the corn is tender and the potatoes are crispy – these are your smoky corn cobettes and mojo de ajo potatoes

Meanwhile, peel and finely slice your red onion[s]

Cut your red chilli[es] in half, deseed (scrape the seeds out with a teaspoon) then slice finely

Dissolve your tomato paste, chipotle paste (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and beef stock mix in 350ml [455ml] [600ml] boiled water and add a pinch of salt and pepper – this is your birria-style stock

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick with a matching lid) with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium heat

Once hot, add half the sliced onion (save the rest for later!) and cook for 4 min or until softened

Once softened, add the remaining grated garlic, remaining ground smoked paprika, sliced chilli (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and your BBQ pulled pork

Cook for 30 secs or until fragrant

Once fragrant, add the birria-style stock and bring to the boil over a high heat

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook, covered, for 15 min or until the pork is warmed through and the sauce has thickened

Tip: The sauce should be slightly loose so you can dip in your finished tacos!

Once the pork is warmed through, pull it apart using two forks and mix into the sauce – this is your birria-style pork

Meanwhile, grate your cheddar cheese

Trim, then slice your spring onion[s]

Chop your coriander finely, including the stalks

Once everything is nearly ready, add your tortillas to a baking tray and put them in the oven for 2-3 min or until they're warmed through (alternatively, add them to a plate and microwave!)
