Spicy Pulled Pork Tacos!

PULLED PORK. Need I say more? Oh yes, tacos. 
Tacos are an event in this house. Instead of making the normal ground beef tacos, I stepped it up with pulled pork. Two favorite foods combined. You really can’t go wrong.
You can either make these with more of a mexican flare and use the ingredients I did and serve them with pickled onions, cilantro, lime, sriracha mayo, and cotija.. or you can just eat them with more of an American style with cole slaw and BBQ sauce. I highly recommend trying the first.. your taste buds will thank you for something different!

Please let me know what you would like to see from us next! And please enjoy these DELICIOUS pulled pork tacos from our house to yours. Whole Foods Market Nashua NH ever so generously donated all of the ingredients to create this delicious recipe for you! We love them so much!
