Pulled Pork Tacos with Harvest Slaw serves up juicy, flavorful pork with a slaw made from cabbage, apples and apricots.
Our February Recipe ReDux challenge:
So show us your healthy, creative take on the taco.
I’m not a fan of the traditional taco. So I skipped the lettuce, tomatoes and salsa. These tacos are slathered in slaw. This crunchy, sweet, fruity topping goes great with pork. Easy and fast with no need to marinate for hours. Serve any leftover slaw on the side after making your tacos.
Ingredients
- 4 taco shells (soft or hard)
- 2 cups pulled pork in broth
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 medium apple, cored and sliced thin
- 1 medium lemon
- 1 cup fresh or canned apricots, sliced
- ¼ cup celery, sliced thin
- 2 Tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 Tablespoons sour cream or Greek Yogurt
- ½ teaspoon seasoned salt
- ground pepper and salt to taste
Instructions
- Place apple slices in a medium-sized bowl. Squeeze ½ lemon juice over apples. Mix. Add cabbage, celery and apricots.
- In a separate bowl, mix mayo, sour cream and seasoned salt. Add to cabbage mixture and stir to coat.
- Heat pulled pork, drain.
- Add pork to taco shells. Top with Harvest Slaw.
