My youngest son, Dax, recently became obsessed with the idea of taco Tuesday. A phrase that I have used his whole life, but at almost eight years old, it’s now very important that we eat tacos on Tuesdays. 🤦🏽♀️
I love a taco! I also don’t like to eat any meal that regularly. I’ve had to get creative on what I stick in a taco as to not implode his life and not bore my tastebuds. This Cubano taco saved us from the above!! Enjoy!
Ingredients
Pork Marinade:
• 1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
• ½ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 ½ to 2-pound pork loin
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
Spicy Mustard Sauce:
• 1/2 cup yellow mustard
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
• 3/4 to 1 tsp. cayenne pepper
Additional Ingredients:
• 6 ounces Swiss cheese, shredded (about 1 1/2 cups)
• 16 (6-in.) flour tortillas
• 10 ounce thinly sliced smoked deli ham, chopped and warmed
• 1/2 cup dill pickle slices
Directions
1. Stir together in a small bowl the orange juice, lime juice, garlic, oregano, cumin, salt and pepper. Cut slits all over the pork loin and put in a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the pork and seal the bag, pushing out all air. Refrigerate for 2 hours and up to overnight.
2. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place the pork loin and marinade in a small baking dish. Roast until a meat thermometer inserted in the center of the loin reads 150°F, 25-30 minutes.
3. Prepare the spicy mustard sauce: Whisk together mustard, sour cream, olive oil, vinegar, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl until well combined. Set aside.
4. When pork is done, cut into 1/2-inch-thick pieces.
5. Divide Swiss cheese evenly among tortillas. Top evenly with deli ham and hot pork belly slices (about 3 ounces pork belly per taco). Drizzle each with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the mustard sauce, and top each with 1/2 tablespoon of the pickles. Serve immediately.
