Ingredients

To serve

Method

  1. For the salsa, place tomato, 2 tbs chipotle sauce and garlic in a small saucepan, bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes until thickened slightly. Set aside.
  2. Combine onion, radish, vinegar, sugar and ½ tsp salt flakes in a bowl.
  3. Reheat pulled pork according to packet instructions. Combine black beans, coriander and remaining 1 tbs chipotle sauce in a small microwavable container and heat on high for 2 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  4. Spread each roll with black bean mixture, top with pulled pork, drained onion and radish mixture and coriander sprigs. Sandwich them with the lids.
  5. Place on a serving plate and ladle salsa over. Scatter with manchego (or parmesan) and serve immediately with your favourite hot sauce.

Notes

Chipotle in adobo sauce: we used La Costena, available from Woolworths.
