I created this unique pulled pork recipe so we could replicate our favorite food truck tacos at home. They're a little sweet, a little spicy and totally delicious any time of year. —Julie Orr, Fullerton, California

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon baking cocoa
  • 3 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 boneless pork shoulder butt roast (4-5 pounds)
  • SLAW:
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha chili sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 package (14 ounces) coleslaw mix
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds, optional
  • ASSEMBLY:
  • 20 flour tortillas (6 inches), warmed
  • Optional: Thinly sliced green onions and additional Sriracha chili sauce

Directions

  1. Whisk together first 8 ingredients. Place roast in a 6-qt. slow cooker. Pour soy sauce mixture over top. Cook, covered, on low until pork is tender, 8-10 hours.
  2. About 1 hour before serving, mix first 5 slaw ingredients until blended. Place coleslaw mix in a large bowl; toss with dressing and, if desired, sesame seeds. Refrigerate, covered, until serving.
  3. Remove roast; skim fat from cooking juices. Shred pork with 2 forks; return to slow cooker and heat through. Serve in tortillas with slaw. If desired, serve with green onions and additional chili sauce.
