These Honey Pork Tacos are a favorite for the bit of a spicy-sweet kick I’ve been on lately. Especially after I discovered Tabasco’s chipotle sauce (not sponsored, I just love that stuff!).
I made these honey chipotle chicken wings a few weeks back, and I haven’t stop craving the tangy combo of flavors since!
I decided to change up the marinade and try it with pork for some very simple pork tacos. They are quick to throw together – but so delicious! It would be REALLY good with our chipotle aioli sauce, too!
Everything you need to make Honey Pork Tacos
Mixing Bowl – This mixing bowl is perfect for mixing sauces like this because of the spout. No more spills!
Ziploc Bags – These make marinating meat SO easy. Just zip the meat up with the marinade and place it in the fridge. These bags can stand up so they are easy to fill and easy to store in the fridge.
Skillet – This is our favorite skillet for cooking things like this! Easy to clean and large enough to double the recipe.
How to make Honey Pork Tacos
- In a small bowl, mix together honey, oil, lime juice, soy sauce, and chipotle sauce.
- Pour the mixture into a ziploc bag and add in the pork strips. Shake until all the pork has been covered with the marinade.
- Place the bag of pork and marinade the fridge and let it marinate for 30 minutes or longer (sometimes I let it sit overnight).
- Heat a skillet over medium/high heat. Dump the contents of the bag into the skillet.
- Cook for a few minutes on each side (about 2-3 minutes should be fine!).
- Assemble tacos on flour tortillas with your favorite toppings. We recommend lettuce, pico de gallo or salsa, sour cream, and shredded cheddar cheese.

These look incredible, love how you flavored the pork!!
These look really good. Thank you.
I made this tonight and it was SO good! I was a little hesitant at including the tobacco as I’m not fond on spice, but went for it as it was a small amount. My husband enjoyed it as well, or as he put it when I asked if he tried it, “mm-hmmm-hmm-mmm” lol. Thanks for another great recipe!
I’m making this again this week and just noticed my horrible typo. I used tobasco! Not tobacco! So sorry!
So good! I didn’t have chipotle on hand so I used siracha and the flavor was awesome!
