Pulled Pork Tacos: A LEGO-Inspired Taco Tuesday Recipe!

Dinner & a movie provided!

In honor of Taco Tuesday and the debut of the brand new LEGO Movie 2 teaser trailer that was released today, I found a fun little LEGO care package package on my doorstep today!

My package contained a taco kit and a copy of The LEGO Movie on DVD – dinner and a movie! The timing couldn’t have been more perfect, because no more than 15 minutes before it arrived, I had put a pork roast in my slow cooker for tonight’s dinner. Just the thing for pulled pork tacos!

So this was another one of my gonzo recipes that turned out delicious, so I’ll explain how I made it. First, I took a roasting pork that about about 3.5 lbs and slit 3 holes into it, which I stuffed with 3 separate cloves of garlic. I then seasoned it with ginger, black pepper, and Adobo Light All Purpose Seasoning. I based it on my favorite, go-to pulled pork recipe with added inspiration from this recipe.

Then, just a few minutes later when this package arrived, I had a conundrum. The pulled pork would be perfect for tacos, but I had already seasoned it! So I decided to just add the taco seasoning packet on top of the other seasonings, along with about 3/4 cups water. I was concerned that the meat would be over-seasoned, but it actually turned out super tasty, so I was glad I had made the decision! I cooked the pork for roughly four and a half hours on high.

Once the meat was ready, I filled the taco shells and covered the pork with the taco sauce that was included in the kit. I then topped each taco with sour cream, green onion, and lettuce – which were the toppings I just happened to already have in the fridge. They were super tasty! In fact, you might say that all every taco is awesome…

The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part will hit theaters on February 8th, 2019 – so we’ve got a few more Taco Tuesdays to go before then! In the meantime, keep up with all the awesomeness at TheLegoMovie.com and on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram!
