- To make the dip: Place all dip ingredients in a small capacity food blender and blend to a paste.

- Finely dice onion, pepper, jalapeno and mince the garlic and saute in a non-stick skillet over medium to med-high heat until softened. Add the pork and the cumin seeds, and saute until pork is sealed: 5 minutes or so. Try not to overcook, the pork should not be tough. Remove pork to a bowl and wipe out skillet with a paper towel, and lightly coat with olive/canola oil. Over medium heat, place a tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle a little cheddar cheese over half. Add 3 heaped tablespoons pork mixture, and another sprinkle of cheese and with a spatula, flip the other side of the tortilla over the filling. Cook approx 3 minutes each side until browned and crispy. Cut in half. Continue until all pork mixture is used up: and serve three halves per person and 2 tbsps dip.
