Pork Butt!!

Doesn't that sound awful?  PORK BUTT!  Sounds like a nasty little taunt but it's not.

This is what I made from the leftover meat from the Smokey BBQ Pork I made earlier this week.  It was delicious and will definitely be made again.  Sorry.  I forgot to take pictures.  Next time!

Pulled Pork Soft Taco
Leftover meat from Smokey BBQ Pork
Ground Cumin
Broth from Smokey BBQ Pork
Corn tortillas
Chipotle Slaw
Monetary Jack or Cheddar cheese, shredded
Onion, chopped
Cilantro
Shred the leftover pork and put in a medium size skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle liberally with ground cumin. Add a few tablespoons pork broth and stir to combine. Separate pork and gently warm until the pork has absorbed most of the pork broth. Set aside.

Heat a small skillet on high. Add 1 corn tortilla to pan. Let warm for approximately 30 seconds, flip and warm another 30 seconds. They burn quickly so be alert. Put warmed tortillas inside a folded tea towel to keep warm. Continue to cook and put in towel until you have the desired number. I typically eat 3 to 4. Hubs will usually eat 4 to 6.

To assemble taco:
Place tortilla on plate, add pork, then cheese, slaw, onion and top with cilantro. Fold and devour!

Chipotle Slaw
1/4 cabbage
1/4 cup real Mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Rice Vinegar
2 tablespoon Chipotle Powder

Shred cabbage. Mix mayonnaise, vinegar and chipotle powder. Add cabbage and toss. This is better if made a few hours before so the chipotle can really infuse the mayo.
