Notes
For a party, create a taco bar by placing everything in individual bowls and let everyone customize their own tacos!
Store leftover pulled pork in air tight container. It will keep like this for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
Once the pork is cooked and shredded, it can easily be frozen. Once cooled, I place the meat in freezer bags, remove the air and seal them. You can also use a vacuum food saver. Pork can stay in the freezer this way for up to 6 months. Even longer if you have one these food savers. To reheat pulled pork, you can heat them up in the microwave or sauté in the pan. It’s super handy to have available for some last minute meals!
