• Grate carrot. Thinly slice pear. Shred cos lettuce (see ingredients). • Cut pork loin steaks into 1cm strips.
Little cooks: Help wash and tear the cos lettuce!
• In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and half the Sichuan garlic paste. Set aside.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. When oil is hot, cook pork strips, tossing, until browned, 1-2 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). • Remove pan from heat, then add the soy sauce, remaining Sichuan garlic paste and a splash of water. Turn pork to coat. Set aside. • Meanwhile, microwave mini flour tortillas on a plate in 10 second bursts, until warmed through.
Little cooks: Help warm the tortillas with oven gloves and under adult supervision. Be careful, the plate can get hot!
• Spread each tortilla with some Sichuan garlic mayo, then top with some cos lettuce, carrot, pear and glazed pork strips. • Sprinkle with crushed peanuts to serve. Enjoy!
Little cooks: Take the lead and help build the tacos!
