Ingredients

2 servings
Pork Carnitas
Pork belly, cubed500 g
Sea salt1.5 tsp
Water100 ml
Lard15 g
Egg Tortillas
Whole eggs4 pieces
Heavy cream1 tbsp
Sea salt0.5 tsp
Bacon fat10 g

Method

Pork Carnitas
1
Place the cubed pork belly, water, lard, and 1.5 teaspoons of sea salt into a skillet over medium heat. Simmer until the water completely evaporates and the pork begins to render in its own fat.
2
Turn up the heat slightly to medium-high and fry the pork belly cubes in the rendered fat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are deeply browned and crispy on the outside but tender inside. Scoop them out and drain, saving the hot rendered fat in the pan.
Egg Tortillas
3
Whisk the eggs, heavy cream, and 0.5 teaspoons of sea salt together until completely smooth and free of streaks.
4
Melt a small dab of bacon fat in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in a quarter of the egg mixture, swirling the pan immediately to form a very thin, tortilla-sized crepe. Cook for 1 minute, flip carefully, cook for another 30 seconds, then remove. Repeat to make 4 tortillas.
Plate
5
Fill each warm egg tortilla with a generous pile of crispy carnitas. Spoon a small teaspoon of the hot rendered pork fat from the skillet over the meat for moisture and extra flavor, fold them up, and serve immediately in street-food style.
