Plating:
Place the two tortillas open-faced side by side on a clean, white plate. The vibrant salad greens and pulled pork should be visibly layered, showing off the delicious blend of colors and textures. The Greek yogurt should be dolloped on top, melting slightly into the warm pork. Finally, sprinkle the coriander for the last touch of color and freshness. The final dish should exude a rustic, hearty appeal with a vibrant burst of color.
