Leftover Pulled Pork Tacos
Leftover pulled pork tacos are the perfect use for your leftover pulled pork. Covered in a delicious Mexican spice blend, placed in a tortilla, and pilled high with toppings.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. pulled pork cooked, without BBQ sauce
- corn or flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup water
Spices for pulled pork:
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- Optional Toppings: Cilantro lime sauce, Pico de Gallo, sour cream, shredded cheese, salsa, avocado, corn, cilantro
Instructions
- Heat and season the meat: In a skillet on medium high heat, add pulled pork and water. Sprinkle the spices on the pork: chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. NOTE: if your meat is already seasoned, you can skip this step. Just ensure your meat is warm when you place inside the tortillas.
- Toss the meat in the skillet until the meat is slightly crispy and warmed throughout.
- Warm your tortillas slightly (10 seconds in the microwave). Line the center of the tortilla with the meat.
- Add on the toppings of your choice: Cilantro lime sauce, Pico de Gallo, Sour cream, Shredded cheese, Salsa, Avocado, Corn

Notes
You can substitute the spices here for 1 packet of taco seasoning.
If your pulled pork is already covered in BBQ sauce, I would omit the spices and heat as is. It will just have a different flavor profile!
