Provided by Food Network

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 package Curly's Sauceless Pork (or Curly's Sauceless Chicken if preferred)
1 medium onion chopped
1 packet of taco seasoning
1 cup water
1 package Taco Shells (hard or soft)
Optional Toppings: Lettuce, Onion, Tomato, Salsa, Cheese, Avocado

Steps:

  • In large skillet, heat Curly's Sauceless Pork and onion over medium heat until onion is tender. (approximately 5 minutes) Add in taco seasoning and water, bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and allow liquid to reduce. Spoon Curly's Sauceless Pork mixture into taco shells and add desired toppings.
  • Alternate recipe option - toss Pork with 1/2 cup BBQ sauce instead of using taco seasoning.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork:Pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) is the best cut for tacos because it is well-marbled and flavorful. You can also use pork loin, but it will be less tender.
  • Cook the pork until it is tender:The pork should be cooked until it is fall-apart tender. This will take about 2-3 hours in a slow cooker or 6-8 hours in a Dutch oven.
  • Shred the pork:Once the pork is cooked, shred it with two forks or with a meat shredder.
  • Make the salsa:While the pork is cooking, you can make the salsa. Combine your favorite ingredients, such as tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and jalapeños, in a food processor or blender.
  • Assemble the tacos:To assemble the tacos, place a few spoonfuls of shredded pork on a tortilla. Top with salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese. Fold the tortilla in half and enjoy!

Conclusion:

Pork tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that will be enjoyed by everyone at the table.
