Smoky Lime Pulled Pork

Smoky Lime Pulled Pork only has a few ingredients – and a definite lime and smoke taste with heat perfect for stree tacos. Keeps and freezes well.

This pulled pork recipe is loosely based on a TGI Friday’s specialty. It has a lot of lime in it and a distinctive lime & smoke taste, really good for street tacos. It’s very simple and keeps well, so after I shred the pork, I like to pack some up and freeze it.
