Slow Cooker Korean BBQ Pork Tacos

Juicy Slow Cooker Korean BBQ Pork Tacos slathered in Korean bbq sauce, topped with creamy slaw, and wrapped in taco shells! 

Happy taco day!!!!

Do you love tacos even half as much as I do?? I hope you do. Because tacos are clearly at the top of my food-lovin’ list and as previously mentioned here on this blog, I eat them at least once each week. They’re kind of a staple in my diet.

A few other of my diet staples?

• cilantro
• peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (made with mom’s homemade peach raspberry jam)
• sliced tomatoes sprinkled with lemon pepper seasoning
• garlic powder (on and in e-ver-y-thing)
• smoothies
• mustard mustard mustard. for everything from ham and cheese sandwiches to salad dressings and today….bbq sauce.

I usually add mustard to my homemade bbq sauces, usually texas-style or carolina style with plenty of vinegar. But today I made Korean bbq sauce and yep, you guessed it, I threw in some mustard. I’m kiiind of going crazy for French’s new flavors. Have you seen them?? Sweet Yellow Mustard with brown sugar and Spicy Yellow Mustard with cayenne pepper. GENIUS.

So here’s my thought with these tacos, and tell me if you think this is genius, because I kind of feel like it is genius-ish.

Both the bbq sauce and the slaw call for mustard in this recipe and you can choose if you want to lean more on the sweet side, or the spicyyyy side ( I adore you spicy people). And if you really want get crazy… here’s the genius…. you could use sweet for one part of the recipe and spicy for the other.

Woah. Mind blown.

So just imagine with me a sweet Korean bbq sauce slathered all over your juicy pork, then topped with a spicy mustard slaw.

Or visa versa!

That’s the genius of it.

The other thing I know you’ll love about this recipe is that you get to throw it in the slow cooker. I love using my slow cooker all year round (hence the continual flow of new slow cooker recipes here on CDLC) but especially during the summertime because when it gets really hot (thank you Utah desert weather) the last thing I want to do is heat up my house even more by using the oven. The slow cooker doesn’t heat up my whole kitchen – though it does make it smell heavenly. And I often put it out on the back porch, just plugged into an outlet out there so it’s out of the way and out of my mind until dinnertime.

Then it’s 6:00 – oh heyyy dinner is totally waiting for me on the back porch!

P.S. thanks for hanging in through all of my pictures and rambling today. Who knew you could talk about a taco for so long right??

Enough chit chat. Let’s eat.
