(From editor Jennifer Tormo Alvarez)
Strive it in a taco. I plated the pulled pork in brioche sandwich buns as a substitute of slider rolls, and as quickly as I took my first chunk I used to be imagining all the opposite methods to serve the leftover meat and slaw. It’d be nice in a taco, and even paired with eggs in a breakfast burrito.
Apply ingenuity together with your slaw. I went to 2 grocery shops and couldn’t discover jicama, however I did spot contemporary jicama taco wraps at Dealer Joe’s. It turned out to be simply as straightforward to slice these into slaw-sized slivers. I additionally grabbed a bag of shredded carrots, which shaved a couple of minutes off my prep time.
