Pulled Pork Tacos Toppings

Mexican Pulled Pork is so rich, I find that the contrast of a zesty Cilantro Lime Slaw and Creamy Avocado Crema make the perfect harmony of textures and flavors.  The crunchy slaw adds freshness that compliments the spiced pork – it’s really just a flavor party.  I like to top my pork tacos with:

  • Cilantro Lime Slaw (I used my Chayote Lime Slaw, but you can find a recipe below for standard Cilantro Lime Slaw)
  • Avocado Crema
  • Extra lime juice
  • extra cilantro

how to make pulled pork tacos

Once you have your Mexican Shredded Pork, crunchy slaw and avocado crema, it is really just a matter of building your taco!  I like to use corn tortillas, but use flour if that is what you prefer!  I like to crisp up my tortillas a little bit by spraying them with oil and warming them in a frying pan.  This makes them slightly crispy and just improves the flavor so much.

    I made this recipe because of the toppings which were very yummy. Also made your pulled pork recipe which is one of the best. Instant pot guy but did the slow cooker and I think this is better that way. Browned corn tortillas and pickled onions/jalapenos. The whole family loved it!
