How to Make Bbq Pork Tacos
- **Prepare the Pork:** In a large pot or slow cooker, combine 1 lb pork loin, 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup BBQ sauce, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1 cup water.
- **Simmer the Pork:** Bring to a simmer on the stovetop (or cook on low in a slow cooker for 6-8 hours). Cook until the pork is incredibly tender and easily shreds (approximately 1.5 hours on the stovetop).
- **Shred the Pork:** Once cooked, remove the pork from the pot and shred using two forks.
- **Make the Pico de Gallo:** In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup chopped tomatoes, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 2 tbsp lime juice, 1 jalapeño (minced, seeds removed for less heat), and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
- **Warm the Tortillas:** Heat corn or flour tortillas according to package directions.
- **Assemble the Tacos:** Fill each tortilla with approximately 2-3 tablespoons of shredded pork and 1-2 tablespoons of pico de gallo.
- **Serve and Enjoy:** Garnish with extra cilantro and a squeeze of lime if desired. Serve immediately and prepare for rave reviews!
