Instructions
1
Mist a heavy-based pan with cooking spray and heat to medium-high. Cook the onion, pepper, garlic and chilli, stirring, for 3 minutes until soft. Remove from the pan and set aside.
2
Mist the same pan with cooking spray. Cook the pork, turning once, for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned all over. Add the onion mixture, tomatoes and vinegar. Bring to the boil, cover, reduce the heat and simmer for 1 hour. Remove the lid and simmer for a further 30 minutes or until the pork is tender and the sauce thickens. Transfer the meat to a large plate and shred using two forks. Return to the pan, then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
3
Mash the avocado with the lime juice in a small bowl, stir in the sweetcorn and coriander, then season well and set aside.
4
Lightly toast the bread rolls. Divide the sweetcorn mixture, carrot, cabbage and pulled pork between the rolls, then serve with the extra coriander leaves and the extra chilli, if using.
