METHOD
Pork: Slice the pork thinly against the grain. Combine all the remaining ingredients in a large bowl, add the pork and coat well in the spice paste.
Heat a sauté pan with a little oil and when hot, cook the pork in batches for 2 minutes until just cooked through and golden. Don’t overcrowd the pan or the meat will start to stew and be tough. Transfer to a dish, cover and keep warm.
Onions: Heat the oil in a sauté pan with the onions, capsicum and spices. Season and cook over a medium high heat until tender.
Salsa: Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and season.
To serve: Roughly mash the avocado flesh with the lemon juice and season. Serve the pork in warm tortillas with the onions, salsa and crushed avocado and squeeze over a wedge of lime.
