Description

Delicious pulled pork tacos featuring tender, flavor-packed meat, fresh toppings, and warm tortillas.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs pork shoulder
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Season the pork: Generously sprinkle the pork shoulder with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Slow cook the pork: Transfer the seasoned pork into your slow cooker, pour the chicken broth over it, cover, and cook on low for 8 hours.
  3. Shred the pork: Carefully remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker to soak up the juices.
  5. Warm the tortillas: Heat a skillet over medium heat and warm each corn tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side.
  6. Assemble the tacos: On each tortilla, place a generous portion of pulled pork, followed by shredded cabbage, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime.

Notes

Make ahead by preparing the pork a day in advance; it tastes even better overnight. You can also use an Instant Pot for quicker results.
