Preparation
Mise en place
Heat the BBQ on high, making sure to oil the grill first. Peel and thinly slice the chayote lengthwise. In a medium bowl, toss with a drizzle of oil and S&P. Roughly chop the cilantro leaves and stems. Juice the lime. In a small bowl, combine the mayo, ¼ of the spices and S&P.
Grill the pork
Pat the pork* dry; season with the remaining spices and S&P. Add to the BBQ and grill, 3 to 5 min. per side, until cooked through. In the last min., brush with the BBQ sauce. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest before slicing.
Grill the chayote
Add the chayote to the BBQ and grill, turning occasionally, 2 to 3 min., until browned. Transfer to a cutting board.
Make the slaw
Thinly slice the chayote crosswise. In a large bowl, combine the lime juice, cilantro and 2 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions). Add the cabbage, chayote and S&P.
Grill the tortillas
Add the tortillas to the BBQ and grill, 30 sec. to 1 min. per side, until warmed through and pliable.
Plate your dish
Divide the tortillas between your plates. Spread with the spiced mayo. Top with the pork and a spoonful of the slaw. Serve the remaining slaw on the side. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking pork to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
