Pulled Pork Tacos
Give last night’s Slow-Cooker Pork BBQ a street-taco glow-up! Warm tortillas piled high with tender pork, a splash of our Homemade BBQ Sauce, and a crown of Creamy Coleslaw. Ten-minute dinner, fiesta-level flavour.
Ingredients
For Assembly
- 12 small flour or corn tortillas
- 1 ½ cups **[Creamy Coleslaw (or cabbage slaw of choice)
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
1. Warm the pork: In a skillet over medium heat, stir shredded pork with ¼ cup BBQ sauce until hot and saucy (about 5 min).
2. Heat tortillas: Toast tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame for 10 seconds per side until pliable and charred on the edges. 
3. Build tacos: Spoon pork into each tortilla (≈? cup). Drizzle with extra BBQ sauce, add a forkful of coleslaw, and sprinkle with cilantro.
4. Serve: Squeeze fresh lime over the top and devour immediately.
Notes
- Make-ahead: Pork keeps 4 days refrigerated / 3 months frozen; just reheat as directed.
- Spicy twist: Stir smoky chipotle powder into the BBQ sauce before drizzling.
- No coleslaw?: Sub quick-pickled red onions for tang.
