Can I use another protein? Yes! I also like using the Just Meats Carne Asada and Roasted Chicken Breast in this recipe.
Can I make this recipe vegetarian? Sure! Substitute the pulled pork with your favorite plant-based protein, such as jackfruit or tofu, for a delicious vegetarian option.
How do I warm the tortillas? To warm corn tortillas, heat them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are soft and pliable. You can also microwave them for a few seconds with a wed paper towel.
