Introducing: Exotic Mango Pulled Pork Tacos

Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that will take your taste buds on a tropical journey. As we transition from summer to fall, I wanted to create a dish that captures the vibrant flavors of both seasons. These Exotic Mango Pulled Pork Tacos are a delightful blend of sweet and savory, perfect for a casual dinner party or a cozy night in.

Ingredients:

  • pork shoulder (boneless) – 500g
  • mango (ripe) – 1
  • jalapeno pepper – 1
  • onion – 1
  • garlic cloves – 3
  • cumin – 1 tsp
  • paprika – 1 tsp
  • cinnamon – 1/2 tsp
  • lime – 1
  • corn tortillas – 8
  • cilantro (fresh) – for garnish

Kitchen Tools:

  • slow cooker
  • chef’s knife
  • cutting board
  • citrus juicer
  • meat shredders

Start by seasoning the pork shoulder with cumin, paprika, and cinnamon. Place it in the slow cooker. In a separate bowl, mix diced mango, jalapeno, onion, minced garlic, and the juice of a lime. Pour this mixture over the pork. Cook on low heat for 6-8 hours until the meat is tender and easily shredded.

Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using meat shredders. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker to soak up all the flavorful juices.

Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet until they are soft and pliable. Fill each tortilla with a generous amount of the mango pulled pork mixture. Top with fresh cilantro for a burst of freshness.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 1500g, with enough for 4 servings. Each serving is around 375g, with an estimated calorie count of 400 per portion.

A unique tip for this recipe is to char the tortillas slightly over an open flame for added flavor and a touch of smokiness. This simple step elevates the dish and brings out the best in every bite.

I hope you give these Exotic Mango Pulled Pork Tacos a try and enjoy the fusion of flavors. Feel free to customize the recipe with your favorite toppings or side dishes. Happy cooking!
