21 Day Fix Pulled Pork Tacos with Quick-Pickled Veggies

These quick and easy 21 Day Fix Pulled Pork Tacos are perfect for those busy weeknights! They're also gluten free and dairy free, but FULL of flavor!

Hey guys! Remember last Sunday when I posted the SUPER easy Slow-Cooker Southwestern Pulled Pork Tenderloin? Remember how I said that you could use that recipe to make other awesome recipes throughout the week? Well here I am. Just a girl. standing in front of some tacos, asking them to love her.

So yep, this recipe uses the leftover pulled pork (or you could also use shredded chicken if that's what you've got on hand, but I'm telling you... this pork. Anyway, using the leftover pulled pork here, you can LITERALLY have these tacos on your table in 15 minutes. Fifteen. Minutes. Honestly, maybe even 10 if you hustle!

If you've never had pickled veggies on your taco before, you're in for a real treat. I love how it brightens up the super-savory pork and just makes everything happy.

And really, these probably aren't technically pickles because there aren't any actual pickling spices here, but those fresno peppers in there put out so much heat and flavor, that I didn't want to muddy it up (I also didn't have any on hand, so there's that). Btw, these bad boys will last up to 2 months in the fridge, so it doesn't hurt to make extra and have 'em ready to go for next time!

Oh! Here's a fun idea for you! If you ever want to switch things up with these tacos, try tossing the pulled pork with some of my crazy-good Easy Instant Pot Mole Sauce!

Layers of love <3 :

I have so many more delicious ideas to use this pork in and I can't wait to get them up on the blog for you guys! LOVE how having it made ahead is making my weeknights SO much easier!
