Bring your friends and family together with this crowd-pleasing Crackling & Pork Belly Carnitas Tacos recipe, served in soft La Banderita tortillas and finished with a vibrant homemade salsa roja. Created by Justine Schofield, this dish combines crispy crackling, juicy pork belly and bold Mexican-inspired flavours for the ultimate taco experience. The pork belly is air-fried to perfection — first at a high temperature for crisp, golden crackling, then finished low and slow for tender, juicy meat with caramelised edges. It’s all wrapped in La Banderita’s famously soft, authentic 4.5” Street Taco flour tortillas and topped with a rich tomato-based salsa, fresh coriander and a squeeze of lime. Every bite delivers the perfect balance of richness, spice and crunch.
Perfect for sharing with friends or building your own taco feast, these carnitas fit in the palm of your hand and are a guaranteed fiesta favourite. Whether it’s a casual weekend dinner or a special celebration, serve up flavour that speaks for itself — with La Banderita, taste the tradition in every bite.
