He shoots, you score! This winning recipe gets the nod from Nick Suzuki, Montreal Canadiens captain. Enjoy two international food favourites in one fabulous meal. For the format of this supper, we turn to Mexico, where we find the trusty taco built on warmed wheat tortillas. For the filling, we’re looking for ideas in Vietnam, where we enjoy bánh mì sandwiches (usually made with baguettes). Sesame-spiced ground pork, hoisin-spiked mayo, along with cucumbers, daikon and carrots marinated in rice vinegar, create a taste sensation with global inspiration.

Preparation
Cook the pork
In a large pan, heat a generous drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the pork* and ½ the garlic; season with ½ the spices and S&P. Cook, breaking up the meat, 4 to 6 min., until browned and cooked through.
Warm the tortillas
Meanwhile, wrap the tortillas in a slightly dampened paper towel. On a plate, microwave, in 10 sec. increments, until warm.
Make the marinated vegetables
Halve the cucumbers lengthwise; thinly slice on an angle. In a large bowl, combine the vinegar, 3 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions), the remaining spices and S&P. Add the cucumbers, daikon and carrots; toss well.
Make the hoisin mayo
In a small bowl, combine the mayo, hoisin, remaining garlic, 1 tbsp water (double for 4 portions) and S&P.
Plate your dish
Divide the tortillas between your plates. Top with the pork, hoisin mayo and a spoonful of the marinated vegetables. Serve the remaining marinated vegetables on the side. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground pork to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
