Transfer the pork, skin side up, to a cutting board and let cool slightly. Slice across the grain 1/4 inch thick, then halve the slices crosswise. Top each tortilla with a few pieces of pork belly and a little pico de gallo and serve warm.

Stir in tomatoes, cumin, and oregano, and season to taste with pepper and remaining teaspoon salt. Simmer until tomatoes break down and mixture is saucy, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Fill each shell with about 1 tablespoon shredded cabbage and 1 tablespoon beef. Spoon a small amount of Pico de Gallo over beef, or serve on the side.
