Every Day Should Be Taco Tuesday?

Transport yourself to the heart of American BBQ with these Pulled Pork Tacos, featuring succulent slow-cooked pork shoulder seasoned with our Boston Butt Rub. This versatile rub delivers a perfect balance of sweet and smoky flavours, creating tender, flavour-packed pork that’s ideal for tacos. Adding pineapple brings a tropical twist, with its natural sweetness balancing the richness of the meat. Whether you’re hosting a BBQ or craving something different for taco night, these Pulled Pork Tacos are guaranteed to impress.

Why it works

The Boston Butt Rub enhances the pork with its deep, smoky notes, while the slow cooking process ensures tender, juicy meat that’s perfect for shredding. The pineapple adds a refreshing contrast, cutting through the richness of the pork with its tangy sweetness. Serving the pork in tacos allows you to customise with your favourite BBQ sauce, offering endless possibilities to suit your taste. Together, these elements create a balanced, flavourful, and unforgettable dish.

What to drink with it:

Beer Pairings

  1. Beavertown Neck Oil Session IPA: This crisp, citrusy IPA complements the smoky pork and sweet pineapple while keeping the palate refreshed.
  2. Camden Hells Lager: A clean, slightly malty lager that doesn’t overpower the dish, letting the pork and pineapple shine.

Wine Pairings

  1. Chenin Blanc: Its bright acidity and subtle tropical fruit notes make it an excellent companion for the pork and pineapple.
  2. Pinot Noir: A light, fruity red wine with soft tannins that complements the sweet and smoky elements of the tacos.

Ingredients and Instructions

Ingredients

For the Pulled Pork:

  • 2kg pork shoulder (Boston butt), bone-in
  • 4 tbsp Boston Butt Rub
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup chicken stock

For the Pineapple Salsa:

  • 1 fresh pineapple, diced
  • 1 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 red chilli, finely chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Tacos:

  • 12 small corn or flour tortillas
  • Your favourite BBQ sauce (user’s choice)
  • Fresh lettuce or shredded cabbage (optional)
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

Preparing the Pulled Pork

  1. Season the Pork: Rub the pork shoulder evenly with olive oil, then generously coat with the Boston Butt Rub. Let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  2. Cook the Pork: Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). Place the pork in a roasting dish and pour the chicken stock around it. Cover tightly with foil and cook for 5-6 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
  3. Shred the Pork: Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes. Shred the meat using two forks, discarding any excess fat. Toss with some of the cooking juices to keep it moist and flavourful.

Preparing the Pineapple Salsa

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mix the diced pineapple, red onion, chilli, lime juice, and coriander. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Chill: Refrigerate the salsa for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavours to meld.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. Warm the Tortillas: Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet or wrap them in foil and warm in the oven for a few minutes.
  2. Build the Tacos: Fill each tortilla with a generous portion of pulled pork. Top with pineapple salsa, your favourite BBQ sauce, and lettuce or shredded cabbage if desired.
  3. Serve: Garnish with lime wedges and serve immediately.

Serving

These Pulled Pork Tacos are best enjoyed fresh and warm. The combination of smoky pork, sweet pineapple, and tangy BBQ sauce creates a vibrant, crowd-pleasing dish that’s perfect for gatherings or casual dinners.
