There is nothing that we like better than a fabulous pulled pork recipe.  But, what if I told you that this recipe kicked up a couple of notches and made a family favorite of Tacos.  Yep, you read that right.  TACOS!  Traditional pork ribs get an Asian fusion in these deliciously moist Honey Sesame Pulled Pork Tacos.

We all have our favorite recipes. Those that you could eat for days. Those that make the house smell absolutely amazing. Those that, when you take that first bite, make you call your husband in the middle of the day and tell him he needs to go ahead and come on home because it's time to eat dinner!

Delicious Honey Sesame Pulled Pork Tacos

This is that recipe for me. Seriously y'all, I didn't want to wait for him to get home to eat this pulled pork! The flavors are just amazing! Think General Tso's chicken but in a pulled pork version. A little sweet, slightly spicy, absolutely delicious!

I roasted the pork in the oven to make these Honey Sesame Tacos because I was going to be home all day but this recipe could very easily be made in a slow cooker and who doesn't love their slow cooker?!

 

Pulled Pork Recipe: Honey Sesame Tacos
Recipe Type: Dinner
Author: Jaime @ Mom's Test Kitchen
Prep time: 20 mins
Cook time: 2 hours 30 mins
Total time: 2 hours 50 mins
Serves: 6 - 8
Traditional pork ribs get an Asian fusion in these deliciously moist Honey Sesame Pulled Pork Tacos.
Ingredients
  • 1 & ½ pounds pork boneless loin country-style ribs
  • salt and pepper
  • ½ cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 2 & ½ tablespoons tomato paste
  • 4 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 bag Asian slaw mix
  • tortilla shells, or hamburger buns or any type of bread you want to serve the pulled pork in
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
  2. Season the pork ribs with salt and pepper, and place in a large roasting pan.
  3. Mix the first 8 ingredients together {honey through ground ginger}. Pour the sauce over pork ribs in the pan.
  4. Roast the meat until it is tender enough to shred with forks - about 2 -3 hours. Remove the pork from the pan and shred. Set aside in a bowl.
  5. Pour the remaining sauce directly from the pan into a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer. Stir together the cornstarch and chicken broth until smooth, then pour into the simmering sauce. Cook until the sauce has thickened, whisking constantly – it only takes a minute or two.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in the sesame oil.
  7. Fill the flour tortillas with the shredded pork, top with the Asian slaw & then drizzle with the sauce to serve.

    This looks SOOO good. I am pinning and planning on making (with a couple adjustments as my daughter can't have soy or corn, but they are easy swaps :D)
