Ingredients
Be sure to see the recipe card below for the full listing of ingredients, instructions, notes, and estimated nutritional information.
Pulled pork – You can use pulled pork from my favorite pork roast recipe or that has been smoked.
For the sauce
Enchilada sauce – I use my homemade enchilada sauce, but you can also use your favorite store-bought sauce. Coca-Cola – The Coke adds a deep, rich flavor to the sauce on this salad. Brown sugar – Adds sweetness and more molasses flavor to the sauce. Sriracha sauce – adds a little spicy heat to the sauce.
For the salad
Lettuce greens – use your favorite salad greens Cucumber – adds a fresh, cool bite to the salad Tomatoes – I love to use cherry tomatoes, but in season heirloom tomatoes are also delicious Black Beans – drain and rinse a can of black beans to add to the salad. Red onion – a little finely sliced red onion is so delicious on this salad Canola oil – (optional) for crisping the tortilla if you are serving the salad on the tortilla. Tortillas – (optional) Mozzarella cheese – grated and served on top of the salad
Step-by-Step Instructions
Prep the pork. Prepare pork roast according to recipe directions. Pull apart with two forks. Set aside. Prepare the sauce. Combine the enchilada sauce, Coke, brown sugar, and Sriracha sauce in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Cook until reduced and thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat. Set aside 1/4 cup of sauce. Add pulled pork to the remainder of the sauce and toss to coat the pulled pork. Make the salad. Assemble the salad of lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, black beans, and onion. Top with pulled pork and then cheese. Drizzle each salad with a bit more sauce. Cook tortillas. (Optional) One at a time, cook tortillas on both sides until lightly browned in a skillet set over medium heat. Remove with tongs and allow to drain. Slice into strips and serve a few pieces alongside each salad.
