* Chop vegetables into 1/2 inch pieces

31+
* Flip pork and add the carrots, celery, red onion, fennel, fennel seeds, beer and season with salt

* Bring to a boil
33+
* Transfer meat to the preheated oven and cook, uncovered, for 1.5 to 2 hours
34+

##Build the Taco
36+
* Once the pork belly has finished cooking, slice into 1/4 inch thick slabs - use 2 slices per taco, or more if desired
37+
* Add green tomatillo salsa, fresh avocado, and onions and cilantro to garnish
38+
* Best in corn tortillas, but flour or wheat tortillas are also acceptible
