These easy Pulled Pork Tacos are made with leftovers or store bought ready to serve pulled pork and take just a few minutes to prepare.
How can I have Pulled Pork Tacos on the table from start to finish, with fresh coleslaw as a topping even? Use leftovers or buy ready to serve pulled pork. All that slow cooking that we usually reserve for special occasions and big cuts of meat can be easy to serve if you freeze some of your homemade pulled pork buy it ready to serve.
This delicious BBQ dinner can be ready in just minutes. Now we can enjoy restaurant quality BBQ & make any night a special occasion!
As I have not made pulled pork recently I picked up a package of heat and serve.
Tip: Assembling the tacos in napkin lined baskets, saves the step of plating and makes for quick clean-up.
If you are really in a pinch for time, you could grab a tub of ready made coleslaw to make these pulled pork tacos, but the fresh crispness the quick slaw brings is worth the few extra minutes, if you can fit it in. It is a small batch, just enough for the tacos & I kept the ingredients to a minimum.
For a quick no bake dessert to finish the meal try my Snickers Apple Salad or Strawberry Shortcake Sundae.

I love Pulled Pork and that looks so delicious! I had to scroll down fast when I saw 10 minutes in the title. This is easy!

I've never tried any of this packaged BBQ but maybe it would come in handy for last minute lunches. Anything to cut down on buying lunches out helps with the budget.

These look delicious!!! The pork looks so tender and full of sauce. Great contrast to the fresh slaw - such a convenient meal for summer. Thanks for the inspiration! :9

I love cole slaw on taco so much. I have never made a pulled pork though - i may have to try this though. But I am not a huge fan of pork, I guess the BBQ would change the taste a bit.
