These pulled pork tacos are a flavor explosion! The pork is slow-cooked to perfection, resulting in tender, juicy meat that falls apart at the touch of a fork. Seasoned with a blend of brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, and paprika, the pork is then paired with crispy corn tortillas, creamy avocado, and a tangy sour cream sauce. The result is a taco that's packed with flavor and texture. The addition of cilantro and green taco sauce adds a fresh, bright note to the dish, while the optional onions and cheese provide a savory, salty contrast. These tacos are sure to impress, whether you're serving them for a casual weeknight dinner or a fun get-together with friends. With a prep time of just 20 minutes and a slow cooker doing most of the work, you'll have a delicious, hearty meal with minimal effort.
