Hawaiian BBQ Pork Tacos
If you know me, you know that “the other white meat” and I aren’t the best of friends… usually I don’t eat pork.  I have no idea why, I’m just weird  But, hubby likes it and I’ve been trying to make an effort lately to break out of the standard beef and chicken routine.  So I came upon this little gem on Pinterest (of course lol)… and I just had to try it!!  These Hawaiian BBQ pork tacos are sweet and saucy with an attitude… absolutely delicious!  Wanna hear the BEST part?  And no, it’s not that tantalizing sauce… it’s that the crockpot does most of the work for you!  Who doesn’t love that!  There is a downside… if you’re home all day while that pork is cooking… well, you may want to eat everything in the house, because it’ll smell amazing and make you incredibly hungry! Recipes like these Hawaiian BBQ pork tacos are quite possibly my new favorite kind of recipe.  The kind where you let the crockpot do 95% of the work, and then make them look amazing with relatively little work These Hawaiian BBQ pork tacos would also be delicious if you decide to forgo the whole wonton thing and just serve these on some Hawaiian rolls as a sandwich as well.  Just pile up that delicious, tender, shredded pork, then drizzle that amazing sauce over the top, top with some broccoli slaw and dig in! The original recipe for these pork tacos called for a lesser amount of sauce, which would still be delicious, but I love me some sauce!  So I chose to double the amount and it worked out really well.  Plus it’s good for storage.  This makes quite a bit of pork, more than you’ll eat in one meal (unless you’re having a party), so you’re going to want to store this in the refrigerator or even freezer for long term storage.  The extra pork will stay very moist with the extra sauce Try these, you’ll LOVE them!! Easiest start to a crockpot meal… just 3 ingredients You can omit adding a little sauce to the pork at this point, and only drizzle it at the end… but I like the extra boost of flavor As you can tell, I had some issues with my wontons not coming together too well   Recipe adapted from Le Creme de la Crumb Hawaiian BBQ Pork Tacos   Print Prep time 30 mins Cook time 8 hours 15 mins Total time 8 hours 45 mins   These Hawaiian pork tacos are sweet and saucy with an attitude... absolutely delicious! Wanna hear the BEST part? And no, it's not that tantalizing sauce... it's that the crockpot does most of the work for you! Author: The Chunky Chef Recipe type: Entree, Appetizer Cuisine: Hawaiian Serves: 4-8 servings Ingredients 20-30 wonton wrappers 1 lb pork roast 4 tsp liquid smoke 2 tsp sea salt 2 cups broccoli slaw ½ red onion thinly sliced ¼ cup cilantro roughly chopped SAUCE ½ cup ketchup ½ cup soy sauce ⅔ cup pineapple juice 2 tsp garlic minced 2 Tbsp brown sugar ¼ tsp fresh ginger Instructions Place pork roast in the slow cooker. Add liquid smoke, and rub pork with salt. Cook on low 8 hours or on high 4 hours. minutes before serving, combine sauce ingredients. Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred with two forks, and drizzle about 3 Tbsp of the sauce over the pork and stir to combine. Preheat oven to 400. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick foil. Lay wonton wrappers out on a flat surface. Put 3-4 tablespoons water in a small bowl. Spoon about 1 tablespoons of shredded pork into the center of each wonton. Top with 1 tablespoon broccoli slaw and some red onion. Wet your finger tips with the water, then pinch two opposite corners of each wonton together so they stick together. If they aren't sticking too well, then fold them over. Place wonton tacos on prepared baking sheet in a single layer, not touching. Spray tacos liberally with cooking spray. Bake 10-15 minutes until wontons get crisp and edges begin to brown. While the tacos are baking, place sauce in a medium sauce pan and whisk over medium-high to bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer and allow to thicken until tacos are done baking. Top tacos with cilantro and drizzle sauce on tacos. You can also serve the sauce on the side as a dipping sauce. Wordpress Recipe Plugin by EasyRecipe 3.2.2885
