Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Divide the shredded cheddar into four round piles, leaving space between them. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes until golden and bubbling. Let cool for 30 seconds, then drape each warm disc over a thick wooden spoon handle or taco rack to form a taco shell shape. Let cool completely to harden.

2
Heat a dry frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the diced pork belly and cook until crispy and golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes, allowing the fat to render out. Stir in the smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, ancho chili powder, and sea salt. Cook for another 1 minute to toast the spices, then splash in the apple cider vinegar to deglaze the pan. Remove from heat.

Divide the hot chorizo pork belly evenly among the four cheese shells. Top each taco with a small dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, then serve immediately while warm.
