Preparation

Step 1

1 In 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Season pork with salt; cook pork in oil until well caramelized and cooked through. Stir together 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce, 2 tablespoons honey and 1 teaspoon vinegar. Drizzle over pork in skillet, stirring occasionally, until glaze is absorbed and caramelized on pork. Remove from heat; keep warm.

3 In small bowl, mix Sriracha Mayonnaise ingredients. Divide pork among tortillas, and top each with slaw, using slotted spoon. Top with mayonnaise, chiles, cilantro and cucumber.

Expert Tips:
Look for pork cutlets in the meat/butcher shop section of the supermarket; they typically are thinly sliced, tenderized pieces of loin meat. If you have trouble locating, simply buy a small piece of pork loin, slice thinly, and pound with a meat mallet until thin and tenderized.
