Ingredients You’ll Need
To whip up your own BBQ Chinese Pork Tacos at home, gather the following ingredients:
For the Barbecue Pork:
- 2 lbs of pork shoulder
- 1 cup of barbecue sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon five-spice powder
For the Tacos:
- Corn or flour tortillas
- 1 cup of finely shredded cabbage (green or purple)

Instructions

Preparation of Pork:
In a slow cooker, combine the pork shoulder, barbecue sauce, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and five-spice powder. Stir until the pork is well-covered in the marinade. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the pork is fork-tender. -
Shred the Pork:
Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Mix the shredded pork back into the sauce to ensure it’s packed with flavor. -
Prepare the Toppings:
While the pork is cooking, prepare your fresh toppings. Finely shred the cabbage, chop the cilantro, slice the green onions, and slice the jalapeños if you’re using them. -
Warm the Tortillas:
Heat the corn or flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are warm and pliable. -
Assemble the Tacos:
Take a warm tortilla, add a generous portion of shredded BBQ pork, and top it with cabbage, cilantro, green onions, and jalapeños. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top for an extra zing. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve your BBQ Chinese Pork Tacos immediately and watch as your guests go wild for this flavor explosion!

These tacos are perfect for a casual gathering or a weeknight dinner that promises to impress. Feel free to customize the toppings based on your preferences; avocado or a drizzle of sriracha cream would add a delightful twist!
