💡 Expert Tips

• Choose a barbecue sauce that suits your taste preference, whether sweet, tangy, or spicy.
• If you don't have a slow cooker, you can also cook the pork in the oven at a low temperature (around 325°F or 160°C) for several hours until tender.
• For added smokiness, you can mix in a bit of liquid smoke into the sauce.

📌 Important Facts:

• Barbecue Pulled Pork Tacos are a delicious and flavorful twist on traditional pulled pork sandwiches.
• The long, slow cooking process helps tenderize the pork and infuse it with the rich flavors of the barbecue sauce.
• The addition of coleslaw provides a refreshing and crunchy texture to the tacos.
