Pulled Pork Tacos are good all year round. They make a colorful summertime meal or a comforting winter family dinner. Even Game Days are better with Pork Tacos! Cook the pork ahead of time to have dinner on the table in minutes!

Like our Braised Short Rib Tacos, this recipe has amazing depth of flavor you can't find in a taco seasoning packet. It starts with good quality pork. Serve it with some Mexican Street Corn and a pitcher of Pink Pomegranate Margaritas for a full on feast.

How to make Pulled Pork

Pork can be cooked just like beef in the sense that it is safe to eat with a pink center. For the best tasting, tender pulled pork, we recommend covering the pork shoulder and roasting it for about 3 hours in a 350° oven. We sear it first to seal in the juices.

In addition to tacos, pulled pork makes a great filling for Banh Mi Sandwiches, Loaded Nachos, and Taquitos.

Instructions

  1. Heat a large heavy bottom pan on the stove so it is very hot.
  2. Add vegetable oil and allow to heat up for 1 minute.
  3. Coat pork shoulder with salt and pepper on all sides.
  4. Place in hot pan and brown on all sides.
  5. Cut 6 limes in half and place on bottom of a 9x13 baking pan.
  6. Place browned pork shoulder on top of limes and add rough cut carrots along with half a bunch of cilantro.
  7. Cover pork shoulder with foil and place in 350° oven.
  8. Roast for 3 hours or until roast is fork tender.
  9. Remove from oven and shred pork using 2 forks.

How to make Peach Salsa:

  1. Combine diced peaches, juice of 1 lime, 1 tablespoon water along with diced jalapeños in a medium bowl. Add crushed red pepper and salt and pepper.
  2. Allow to set in refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
  3. Remove and drain half of liquid. Add diced tomatoes and chopped cilantro.
  4. Serve over pulled pork on your favorite taco shells or as a dip for tortilla chips.

Hint: For best results, be sure to sear the pork shoulder first to lock in the juices.

Why we choose Chairman's Reserve® meats:

Choosing well-marbled pork with deep pink color ensures the best tenderness, juiciness and flavor. When we choose Chairman's Reserve® Meats, we don’t have to worry about selecting the perfect cut because they do it for us. Each product is hand-selected for ideal specifications, so all we have to do is enjoy it.

Pulled Pork Tacos Variations

  • Gluten Free: use corn tortillas (or lettuce leaves) to make these tacos gluten free!
  • Want less spice?: serve with our Pineapple Salsa instead. You'll get all the sweet salsa flavor without the hit of pepper.
  • Make it deluxe: for a more "loaded taco", add a drizzle of our famous Beer Cheese, some guacamole, and a dollop of sour cream.

Storage

Store the Peach Salsa separately from the pulled pork.

Store Pulled Pork in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days. Store Peach Salsa in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Pulled Pork can be frozen and heated up later. Thaw pork at room temperature, then re-heat in a skillet with a little oil.

Top Tip

Serve a mix of taco shells (flour tortilla and corn tortillas) for a colorful and tasty presentation. Using tongs, heat the shells over a burner for a few minutes to warm them and crisp them up a bit before filling them.
