Shredded Pork Tacos

We love Mexican food at our house and this is my go to recipe for taco meat. I usually double the recipe and freeze it in individual portions to use later. Then I’ll use it again for enchiladas, taco salads or quesadillas.

We had a family get together recently and I did a taco bar. My new son-in-law loved this taco meat and asked me for the recipe. So I decided I should probably share it with everyone!
