We’re talking everything from Mexican rice and refried beans to Mexican street corn and everything in between! And we’ve gathered the best side dishes to make your next Taco Tuesday spectacular!
Each easy recipe includes simple ingredients you can easily find at your grocery store and make a great addition to your pork tacos. If you love classic mexican dishes with ingredients like red onions, black beans, bell peppers, and fresh cilantro, you’re in the right place! Oh, and don’t forget the hot sauce.
But first, let’s talk pork!
What Pork Should I Use For Pork Tacos?
For the best shredded pork, the classic and best cut of meat to use for pulled pork is a pork shoulder, which you may also see named at the store as “pork butt” or “Boston butt.” You can also use a pork tenderloin. These cuts will give you tender pork that works great in pork nachos, shredded pork sandwiches, and of course pork carnitas tacos!
If you don’t already have a great recipe for making pork tacos, here are a few great crock pot options:
