With Citrus Mint Relish & Lemon Raita with Sesame Soy Rice
Heat, sweetness, crunch, creaminess and lots of spice. All of which go perfect with this unique and perfectly balanced oil! Boom in your mouth, easy to make. I highly recommend you purchase authentic flour tortillas, and don’t skimp of any of the ingredients in the relish. They all need each other. Kind of like you need this recipe!

DIRECTIONS
Need 12 good flour tortillas. Small and fresh. Can heat or serve room temperature.
Combine cut pieces of pork (they should be about ¾ inches long, ½ inch wide, and sliced thinly) and all ingredients. Stir and set aside. When ready to cook add a bit more of the orange oil to a hot pan. Use a large pan so there is no crowding of the meat. Sauté until cooked. Place in bowl for serving.
For relish, combine all ingredients and stir well. Set aside for serving.
For rice, bring water to boil. Add rice. Bring to boil again, reduce heat to the lowest setting. Cover, let cook for 20 minutes. When done, remove lid and add the soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds and salt. Serve.
