Cochinita Pibil

The traditional way of cooking this vibrant, citrusy pork dish from the Yucatán region of Mexico would be wrapped in banana leaves and buried underground to cook in a Mayan style BBQ pit for hours. Luckily our hob-top version still produces wonderfully soft and flavoursome pork without the effort of digging yourself a pit in the garden!

To make this recipe, you'll need:

ANCHO BLEND: 4 tsp

CANELA BLEND: 1 tsp

CHIPOTLE BLEND: tsp

ORÉGANO BLEND: 1 tsp

Loving Taco Legend so far. Cochinita pibil, refried beans, roasted sweet potatoes, essential red salsa (not pictured) and chile con queso (worth buying the book just for this recipe). Can't wait to try more!

This looks fab, Claire - the perfect Taco Legend meal has a variety of contrasting flavours, colours and textures, and it looks like you've absolutely nailed that here!
