Method
Pork Belly
1
Toss the cubed pork belly with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Coat the spiced pieces thoroughly in the crushed pork rinds. Melt lard in a hot skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the pork belly cubes until they are crispy and golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Cheese Shells
2
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Divide the shredded Monterey Jack cheese into four equal piles in the skillet. Let them melt and bubble until the edges turn golden brown and crispy. Carefully slide a spatula under each cheese disc, lift, and drape over a rolling pin or thick handle to cool and harden into a taco shell shape.
Lime Crema
3
Whisk together the sour cream, lime juice, and finely chopped cilantro in a small bowl until smooth.
Plate
4
Fill each of the four crispy cheese shells with the warm, crispy pork belly cubes. Drizzle with the lime crema and serve immediately while hot and handheld.
