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)

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.
