To making the sizzling SPAM® Chopped Pork and Ham. Add oil to a pan or a pot, then warmed through stir in the diced SPAM® Chopped Pork and Ham (you can add taco seasoning if you wish), and fry until golden brown. Allow to cool.

Warm up your tortillas, then lay them flat and assemble your tacos. I’ve used mixed baby salad leaves as a base, then topped with sizzling taco seasoned SPAM® Chopped Pork and Ham, guacamole, and cilantro lemon sauce.

Lay your sizzling tacos on a serving plate, and enjoy!

SPAM® CHOPPED PORK AND HAM

A very versatile ingredient, SPAM® Chopped Pork and Ham is made from a minimum of 90% shoulder pork and leg ham. The 200g tub is currently available in the UK from Tesco and Asda while 200g and 340g cans are available from all major UK supermarkets.
