Pulled pork is an excellent head start meal prep ingredient. It is delicious in tacos and can also be added to salads, soups, and wraps. If you are making it ahead of time you can skip broiling it until just before serving. These pulled pork tacos can be served with a variety of additional toppings including pickled red onions, sour cream, shredded cheese, lime wedges, or fresh salsa.

Fantastic flavor! Obviously, a bit tedious putting together all of those spices, but in this case, it was well worth it. I had to repeat the cooking another 15 minutes, then another 12 minutes to get mine tender, but I used 2.86 lb. I would probably cut it into 4 chunks to reduce the cooking time next time. I used some gluten-free Maria & Ricardo's Carb Bueno tortillas instead of lettuce, because that's what I had in the house, plus some pre-shredded cabbage and carrot "coleslaw" mix plus avocados, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime. Delicious!

These are fantastic! I might decrease the salt just a bit, but so, so tasty!
