Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Chop the potatoes into 2cm wide wedges (no need to peel).
Pop the wedges onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary. Set aside.
Remove the pineapple rings from the tin and set aside, reserving some of the juice for the marinade.
In a small bowl, combine the tomato puree, chipotle paste, 1 tbsp of the pineapple juice per person, the sugar and olive oil for the marinade (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt and pepper, then mix well.
Remove the pork belly from the packaging. Place in an ovenproof baking dish.
Spoon over the chipotle marinade, ensuring the pork is evenly coated.
When the oven is hot, roast the potato wedges on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through.
At the same time, roast the pork on the middle shelf of your oven until piping hot, 25-30 mins. IMPORTANT: Ensure the pork is piping hot throughout.
While everything's in the oven, cut the pineapple into small chunks. Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all).
In a small bowl, combine the sugar and olive oil for the salsa (see pantry for both amounts), half the cider vinegar and a pinch of the chilli flakes (add less if you'd prefer things milder). Season with salt and pepper, then mix together.
Add the coriander and pineapple to the bowl, mix together, then set your salsa aside.
Grate the Cheddar cheese. Trim the baby gem, halve lengthways, then thinly slice.
In another medium bowl, combine the sugar and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts) with the remaining cider vinegar. Season with salt and pepper, then set the salad dressing aside.
Just before you're ready to serve, add the baby gem to the salad dressing and toss to coat.
Pop the tortillas (2 per person) into the oven to warm through, 2-3 mins.
Once cooked, transfer the pork to a clean board and carefully cut into 2-3cm chunks. Pop back into the baking dish and toss in the remaining sauce.
Transfer the tortillas to your plates. Top with a small handful of the baby gem salad, then the pork belly chunks.
Sprinkle over the cheese and spoon on the pineapple salsa - as much as you'd like.
Serve the wedges and remaining baby gem salad alongside, as well as the smashed avocado in a small ramekin on the side for dipping. TIP: Tacos are best enjoyed eaten by hand - get stuck in!
