1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion

1/4 cup pickled jalapeños, sliced
1/4 cup shredded carrots

Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine fish sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, sriracha, coriander, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
Heat cooking oil in a pan over medium high heat. Add ground pork and cook until browned and cooked through. Drain excess oil and add the seasoning mixture to the cooked pork. Stir well and set aside.
In another pan, toast tortilla chips in the same pan used for frying the pork, turning golden brown. Crush and mix them with crushed peanuts. Set aside.
Assemble the tacos by warming corn tortillas on a griddle or pan. Place a layer of ground pork on each tortilla, followed by sliced red onions, pickled jalapeños, shredded carrots, green mango, cilantro leaves, and diced avocado.
Top each taco with the peanut tortilla chip mix. Squeeze lime wedges over the assembled tacos for an extra burst of flavor. Serve immediately.
