Instructions

First, warm the pulled pork in a frying pan over medium heat until sizzling, about 8 to 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
In the meantime, prepare the quick pickled cabbage. Add sliced green cabbage, minced ginger, and lime juice to a bowl and toss with your hands to combine. Set aside.
Next, warm the tortillas in the microwave between two dampened paper towels for about 30 seconds.
Finally, assemble the tacos. Portion out the pulled pork into all 6 tortillas, then top each taco with some cabbage and a tablespoon each of the mango salsa. Serve immediately.

Notes

Slow cooker pulled pork: We like to use prepared slow cooker pulled pork (get the recipe here!) for these Hawaiian pork tacos for simple and quick preparation. You can easily make a big batch of this pulled pork overnight and then use it in a ton of different recipes throughout the week. You can also freeze cooked pulled pork for up to 3 months if you're not going to use it all right away.

Warming the tortillas: We like to heat the tortillas in the microwave since it's so quick and easy, but you can also seal them in a foil packet and warm in the oven at 350 degrees F for about 5 to 10 minutes. Or, heat them one by one on a cast iron skillet over medium heat, for a few seconds on each side.

Ingredient substitutions: If you can't find sweet Hawaiian flour tortillas, regular flour tortillas also work great for this recipe. For the salsa, we suggest using a mango salsa with a sweeter flavor profile if you can't find mango lime chamoy (although it's worth seeking out at your local Target!).

Serving size: We recommend making 3 tacos of this size (4-inch) per person.

Serving suggestions: Serve with lime wedges or wheels for squeezing extra lime juice onto the tacos if desired. As with any tacos, a side of chips and salsa rounds out this meal perfectly!
