Smoked pulled pork tacos are the perfect way to meals delicious meals for the whole week or prepare for a cookout! You just need to prepare the toppings and reheat the pulled pork!
But, you don’t want to end up with dry pulled pork! So, see my favorite way to reheat it, so it stays juicy and delicious!
How to Make Smoked Pulled Pork Tacos
All you need to do is reheat your leftover pulled pork. We like to steam it, as that ensures it stays super juicy. We allow at least .5 a cup of pulled pork per adult.
If you find that your smoked pulled pork is a little bit dry just add some more BBQ sauce and a little bit of apple juice or apple cider vinegar. If you don’t have any pulled pork you can also use tri tip leftovers, they work really well in tacos too.
While your pulled pork is warming up its time to prepare the tortillas and toppings Just heat your corn tortillas then wrap in a tea towel to keep them warm. Slice all your toppings in to bite-sized pieces and place in bowls
Place all the ingredients on the table and allow people to make their own (its more fun this way).
