Take-out Tuesday, BBQ Pork Tacos with Pineapple Cucumber Salad

the Painted Apron

3 years ago

Change and lighten up Taco Tuesday with these BBQ pork tacos

BBQ pork paired with a salad of fresh pineapple,

cucumbers, snow peas, cashews for a little crunch

and a drizzle of lime crema

Serve it on a flour tortilla taco style or make a BBQ taco salad bowl

You can use my easy Slow Cooker Pulled Pork

{recipe at the end of this post}

You can also buy prepared pulled pork at the grocery store,

this Jack Daniels brand is a good one

I like to put the toppings on a serving tray

and let everyone build their own

A garnish of fresh lime crema, made with light sour cream,

lime juice and garlic salt, makes them extra delicious

Start with a golden crisped flour tortilla

Top with warm pulled pork and a drizzle of your favorite BBQ sauce

Then add the toppings and a dab of lime crema

A wonderful combination of flavors and textures!

Prep Time 15

large flour tortillas
olive oil
cooked pulled pork* {I used meat from a pork butt} or pork tenderloin cut into small pieces
BBQ sauce** {any kind you like}
fresh pineapple chunks or canned pineapple chunks or tidbits drained
snow peas
cashews
English cucumber {the long ones that are wrapped in plastic}
shredded lettuce cabbage or slaw mix, optional
lime crema

Heat oven to 350, wrap pulled pork in foil and reheat.
Heat enough olive oil in a large skillet to coat the bottom. Add tortillas, one at a time and cook until golden, turn over and cook the other side. Repeat with as many tortillas as needed. Drain tortillas on paper towels. Wrap in foil and keep warm.
Trim pointy ends of snow peas and cut in half. Rinse and wrap in a clean kitchen towel. Microwave for 1 minute.
Cut cucumber into slices and quarter them.
Arrange pea pods, cucumber pieces, pineapple, cashews and optional shredded lettuce or cabbage on a large platter or in a divided dish. Set warm pork, BBQ sauce, Lime Crema, and tortillas next to toppings. Diners can serve themselves and assemble their own taco creations.
