    Spicy Pulled Pork Tacos

    Delish.

    That is all.

    So these shredded pork were enjoyed by everyone in the family.

    Yes…everyone…including the dog…

    Spicy Pulled Pork Tacos and Cody

    I suppose we could call this a photography hazard…placing the food on the deck floor because that was the best spot with the best lighting…

    #DogApproved y’all!

    Ha.

    This shredded pork was cooked with a few ingredients…garlic powder, ground cumin, green salsa, diced jalapeños and a dash or two of salt and pepper. Really, these had just the right amount of kick without being too spicy for the boys AND the baby. He shoveled the pork right on in and enjoyed it immensely.

    I topped Steve’s and my tacos with a little diced jalapeño to kick it up a notch, while the boys had theirs with just pork and the tortillas. If we did stars in our family, these would be 7 out of 7. (2 adults, 4 kids, 1 dog!)

    Spicy Pulled Pork Tacos Recipe

    Next time I’m making these (I have another roast in the freezer!), I’m going to top them with a sweet pineapple cole slaw…if it’s as great as it sounds in my head (think sweet meets spicy), I’ll share the recipe in the next week or two!

    (P.S. This shredded pork served us for 2 meals, as the roast I bought was a little over 2 pounds!)

    I have a little problem. I cannot make a meal that costs more than $5. It’s unnatural, but my pocketbook thanks me.
