Of course, even though slow cooked pulled pork is the absolute best, it’s definitely not a thing you can decide to throw together last minute when a craving sets in. Our Spicy Pork Tacos might not be slow cooked, but they definitely still pack a punch in the flavor department.
I took inspiration from an old Carnitas recipe to give these tacos awesome flavor, while cutting down on the cooking time in a BIG way. Fresh orange juice really brings some light and bright notes to and awesome subtle flavor.
While we use this recipe as healthy lettuce wraps, trust me, it is heavenly eaten with regular flour tortillas also. Check out our Cilantro Apple Slaw to perfectly complement this recipe.
