Today’s Special: Spicy Mango Pulled Pork Tacos

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share with you a recipe that’s perfect for those warm summer nights when you’re craving something sweet, spicy, and satisfying. These Spicy Mango Pulled Pork Tacos are a fun twist on a classic dish, combining the tangy sweetness of mango with the heat of jalapenos and the smoky richness of pulled pork. Trust me, you’re going to love this flavor-packed taco filling!

Ingredients:

  • 1 kg boneless pork shoulder
  • 2 ripe mangoes, diced
  • 2 jalapenos, minced
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 500 ml chicken broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 tortillas
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Kitchen Tools:

  • slow cooker
  • skillet
  • mixing bowl
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board

To make these Spicy Mango Pulled Pork Tacos, start by seasoning the pork shoulder with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and cumin. Sear the pork in a hot skillet until browned on all sides, then transfer it to a slow cooker. In the same skillet, sauté the onions and garlic until softened, then add them to the slow cooker along with the diced mango, minced jalapenos, lime juice, and chicken broth. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, until the pork is tender and easy to shred.

Once the pork is done, remove it from the slow cooker and use two forks to shred it into bite-sized pieces. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix it well with the mango-jalapeno mixture. Adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lime juice if needed.

To assemble the tacos, warm up the tortillas in a skillet or microwave. Fill each tortilla with a generous portion of the Spicy Mango Pulled Pork, then top with sliced avocado and fresh cilantro. Serve hot and enjoy the burst of flavors in every bite!

This recipe makes approximately 8 servings, with each serving weighing around 250 grams. One serving of these Spicy Mango Pulled Pork Tacos is about 350 calories.

Pro tip: For an extra kick of heat and flavor, try adding a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of crumbled queso fresco on top of your tacos before serving. It’s a delicious way to customize your dish and make it even more memorable!

I hope you give these Spicy Mango Pulled Pork Tacos a try and enjoy them as much as I do. Remember, feel free to get creative and add your own twist to this recipe. Happy cooking!
