Slow Cooker Sriracha Honey Pulled Pork Tacos Recipe

On a scale of 1-10, how much do I love tacos? I’d have to save that I’m at about a 12!

When I was 18 years old, I moved to Southern California from Oklahoma. I quickly realized that Mexican food in Oklahoma was very different than Mexican food in California!

My favorite story to tell is from a friends birthday dinner at a Mexican restaurant in San Diego only about 2 months after moving here. I asked for queso on the side of my chips. The server said, “like cheese?” I said, “yes, like melted cheese.” So he literally melted some shredded cheese on a plate and handed it to me, lol!

If you grew up on Tex-Mex, you know that by queso, I meant velvetta + rotel. This type of queso is traditionally served with chips and salsa before any Mexican meal in Oklahoma.

After that dinner, I knew that if I wanted the traditional Tex-Mex I grew up on, I was going to have to make it myself!

Since I began blogging, one of my favorite things to do is combine my Tex-Mex roots with the California Mexican food that I’ve come to know and love in San Diego.

While tacos are served in both Oklahoma Tex-Mex restaurants and San Diego Mexican restaurants, some of the ingredients and flavors will remain the same, while some of them are very different.

Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours.

Once the pork is finished slow cooking, it will easily fall apart with a couple of forks in the slow cooker.
