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.

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • Fire up your grill.
  • Combine all the spice rub ingredients in a bowl.
  • Rub the pork butt all over with the spice mixture.
  • Grill the pork butt over indirect heat, with the grill covered and the vents fully open.
  • To help keep the meat moist, fill a small metal pan with the water, cider, and orange and onion slices and place it under the meat to catch the drippings and provide steam.
  • If your grill has a thermometer, keep the temperature of the grill at about 350°.
  • Barbecue the pork slowly, turning it occasionally adn adding coals as necessary, for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, until the meat is very tender and shreds easily with a fork.
  • Remove the pork from the grill and wrap it in foil; let meat rest for at least 10 minutes, then slice it across the grain, pulling off and discarding any large chunks of fat.
  • Using a large knife or Chinese cleaver, chop the sliced meat into 1/2-inch chunks.
  • While the meat is resting, you can fry the tortillas--heat the oil in a saute pan over med-high heat.
  • Fry the tortillas until crispy, about a minute per side; drain on paper towels.
  • On the plate--set out the crispy tortillas, a platter of chopped pork, and a bowl of pico de gallo (in a small bowl, toss together the tomatoes, onions, cilantro, jalapeno, and lime juice; season to taste with salt; best used the day it is made).
  • Allow everyone to make their own tacos.

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.
