    These Pulled Pork Tacos are always a hit. They include two amazing ingredients: Perfect Spiced Pulled Pork and Pickled Tomatoes. You won't be able to stop eating them!Three Pickled Tomato-Pulled Pork Tacos on a blue plate.

    When I make my Perfect Spiced Pulled Pork, I always make a huge batch so I have it on hand for a few different delicious recipes.

    I'm always inspired to make tacos when it's around.

    And this pulled pork taco recipe is one of my favorites. My family practically cheers when they hear it's making its way to the table for dinner.

    You can see why I make a lot at once, right?

    How to Make Pulled Pork

    I love taco night for friends and family because everyone can add whatever they want to theirs. I just put out all of the ingredients and let them have at it.

    And instead of just chopping tomatoes, I make Pickled Tomatoes for tacos. They add a tangy flavor, which in this case is lovely with the somewhat spicy pulled pork.

    Here's an idea, let's make the pulled pork and pickled tomatoes over the weekend, and then have the Pickled Tomato-Pulled Pork Tacos during the week. Taco night, can be any night you know.

    Everyone will absolutely love these Pickled Tomato-Pulled Pork Tacos. Promise!

      I'm not sure I've ever had pickled tomatoes but I know pickled flavors can work so well in tacos so can definitely see this working!

        Thank you, David! Pulled pork is worth the time it takes, which is mostly inactive. I always make a lot to have it around for various meals for a week or so. 🙂 ~Valentina
