Whizz everything in a food processor, and that’s your cilantro lemon sauce ready.
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.
