Cooking Steps
• Thinly slice pear. Shred cos lettuce (see ingredients). Grate the carrot. Cut pork loin steaks into 1cm strips.
Little cooks: Help wash and tear the cos lettuce!
• In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and 1/2 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. • 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, heat mini flour tortillas on a plate in the microwave for 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!

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The Sichuan garlic paste is the hero of this dish, delivering bold, well-balanced flavour that works beautifully with the pork and pear.
- Ease of prep: Quick and easy to pull together, making it a great weeknight option; prep takes a little time but the cooking itself is fast.
- Suggestions: Slice the pork as thinly as possible for more tender results; consider adding a little soy sauce carefully, as one reviewer found it easy to overpower the other flavours. The pear adds a pleasant crunch that many reviewers enjoyed, though it can be left out if preferred.
- Next-day meals: Several reviewers noted the tacos made a great next-day lunch, with the flavours holding up well.
- Portions: A number of reviewers felt there was not quite enough pork or filling for a satisfying dinner, and suggested serving with a side or extra tortillas.
