Blackberry Jalapeno Pulled Pork Tacos

A couple of years ago I combined blackberries and jalapeños for the first time in a margarita recipe, and it was a match made in heaven!

Sweet + spicy = a winning combination in my book!

Add delicious slow cooked pork and turn it into a taco, and I’m totally sold!

I almost always use pork tenderloin, instead of pork shoulder or pork butt, in my pulled pork recipes because it’s much leaner, which also means much healthier!

Blackberry Jalapeno Pulled Pork Tacos Instructions

Begin by roasting the jalapenos, either on the grill or under the broiler in the oven.

Once the skin on the jalapeños is black and bubbling, remove from the heat and place in a plastic bag, zip closed and set aside for 5-10 minutes.

Remove from the bag and peel the skin from the jalapeños.

De-stem and de-seed the jalapeños, then place in a blender or food processor with the blackberries, garlic cloves, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, lime juice and cilantro, blend until smooth.
