Method

Preparing the Pulled Pork

  1. 1

    Cook the Pork

    In a slow cooker, add 2 cups of pulled pork. Pour 1 cup of salsa verde over the pork. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the pork is tender and easy to shred.

  2. 2

    Shred the Pork

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker. Use two forks to shred the pork into bite-sized pieces and return to the slow cooker to soak up the juices.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a skillet over medium heat, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.

  2. 4

    Build the Tacos

    On each tortilla, add a generous amount of pulled pork, then top with pickled onion, crumbled queso fresco, and fresh cilantro.

  3. 5

    Serve

    Serve the tacos with a side of charro beans for a hearty meal.
