Notes
Pulled Pork
This recipe time does not include the time to make pulled pork at home. Try my recipe for Pulled Pork Oven Low and Slow. You can make pulled pork in the oven, it is easy and amazing. Instead of pulled pork, try shredded chicken breast, shredded rotisserie chicken, crumbled or sliced grilled sausages. Those would all be great.Tomatillo Salsa
Tomatillo Salsa is green, but you can use any salsa brand you like.More Tachos Nachos Toppings
