Ingredients

1 pound pork belly, cut into small cubes
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
8 small corn or flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cabbage
1/2 cup diced tomatoes

Instructions

Prepare the Pork Belly: In a bowl, mix the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add the pork belly cubes and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Cook the Pork Belly: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the marinated pork belly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pork is crispy and caramelized, stirring halfway through.
Warm the Tortillas: While the pork is cooking, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
Assemble the Tacos: Fill each tortilla with a portion of the crispy pork belly, then top with shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, and chopped cilantro.
Serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos before serving. Enjoy your Maple Mustard Pork Belly Tacos warm.
