HONEY BBQ PULLED PORK TACOS
This recipe is pulled BBQ pork sandwich meets taco. It is the best of both and a fun way to change up your taco routine! The filling is really tasty-you can use any flavor barbecue sauce you like best, but the honey barbecue adds a nice sweet and spicy combination with the salsa mixed in. Top with a fruity mango or apple salsa on top for a little extra heat or flavor.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) is the best cut for pulled pork tacos. It's a fatty, flavorful cut that will become tender and juicy when cooked slowly.
- Use a dry rub: A dry rub will help to flavor the pork and create a crispy crust. Be sure to rub the pork all over, including the underside.
- Cook the pork slowly: The best way to cook pulled pork is to cook it slowly over low heat. This will allow the collagen in the pork to break down and make the meat tender and juicy.
- Use a variety of toppings: Pulled pork tacos can be topped with a variety of ingredients, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, cheese, and cilantro. Get creative and experiment with different toppings to find your favorite combination.
- Serve the tacos immediately: Pulled pork tacos are best served immediately after they are made. This will ensure that the tacos are hot and crispy.
Conclusion:
Pulled pork tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. They can be made with a variety of ingredients, so you can customize them to your own taste. With a little planning, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal on the table in no time.
