Name: Leftover Pulled Pork Tacos
Cuisine: Latin
Ingredients: 1 – 1½ pounds leftover pulled pork; 1 tablespoon bacon grease or oil; corn or flour tortillas; shredded iceberg lettuce; red onion, finely diced; cotija or feta cheese; hot sauce

Ingredients

1 – 1½ pounds leftover pulled pork
1 tablespoon bacon grease or oil
corn or flour tortillas
shredded iceberg lettuce
red onion, finely diced
cotija or feta cheese
hot sauce

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon bacon grease or oil in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Once heated, arrange shredded pork in an even layer in the pan and cook, uncovered, for 4-5 minutes.
Using tongs, flip the pork. It should appear golden brown and crispy. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes.
Remove from heat and serve hot in tortillas with desired toppings.

Notes

The key is treating the leftover pork like carnitas — cooking it carnitas-style in a hot pan produces irresistible crispy bits.

If your leftover pulled pork is already coated in sauce, skip the high-heat caramelizing step as sugars may burn. Instead, reheat covered over medium-low.

Topping ideas: guacamole, pico de gallo, salsa, sour cream, shredded cabbage, pickled jalapenos.
